Quick definition
What does this workflow do?
Animated captions reveal or emphasize text in sync with speech rather than displaying one static subtitle block. They can improve sound-off comprehension and visual pacing, but readability, transcription accuracy, contrast, and safe placement remain more important than constant motion.
What you can create
Highlighted phrases
Use color and emphasis to make important words easier to scan.
Branded caption styles

Frequently asked questions
Can I edit a caption the AI gets wrong?
Yes. Review and correct the transcript before rendering the final clip.
Are the captions burned into the video?
LumiClip can render styled captions into the exported clip so their appearance remains consistent when posted.
Should every word use a strong animation?
No. Use movement and emphasis selectively; excessive animation can reduce readability and distract from the speaker.
Do animated captions help accessibility?
Accurate captions improve access to spoken content, but styling should retain sufficient contrast, readable sizing, sensible line breaks, and accurate wording.
