Use cases

Captions for muted autoplay

Most social video is watched with the sound off. Burned-in captions carry the message anyway, so a viewer reads the hook before deciding whether to turn audio on. The text is part of the file, so it survives every repost and download.

Captions for muted autoplay

Word by word karaoke type

Word-level timing highlights one word as it is spoken. It holds attention through the first few seconds where most viewers leave, and it is the caption style short-form audiences already expect from a native post.

Word by word karaoke type

Subtitles for a second market

Translate the transcript and burn the result onto the same footage. One shoot reaches a new language without a reshoot or a subtitling vendor, and a bilingual cut can carry both languages at once.

Subtitles for a second market

Approved copy, exactly as signed off

Bring your own SRT when the wording has already cleared legal or a client. Morphic styles and places the text without touching a word of it, so the on-screen copy matches the version that was approved.

FAQs

How do I add text to a video?
Upload the clip and ask for captions. Morphic transcribes the speech, times each line to the audio, and burns the text onto the footage. You choose the font, weight, colour, position, and shadow, or start from a preset. The text is rendered into the exported file, so it travels with the video wherever you post it.
Does the text stay in sync with the speech?
Yes. The timing comes from a transcript of your own audio rather than a guess, so each line appears when it is spoken. You can also request word-level timing, which highlights one word at a time in the karaoke style that reads well on muted social feeds.
Can I add text to a video in another language?
Yes. The transcript can be translated into a second language, so a clip shot in English can carry Spanish or Japanese subtitles. You can keep both on screen for a bilingual cut. To replace the spoken audio rather than caption it, use AI video dubbing instead.
Can I use my own subtitle file?
Yes. Bring an approved SRT and Morphic styles it and burns it onto the clip. That matters when the wording has already been through legal or a client, because the text on screen stays exactly as signed off while the styling and placement still get handled for you.
Can I get the captions as a separate file?
Yes. The transcript exports as a downloadable SRT alongside the video. Upload that file to YouTube or a broadcaster who wants captions as a sidecar, and burn the same text onto a second cut for platforms that autoplay muted.
Can I generate footage that already has text in it?
Yes. Typography-strong models like Ideogram and Seedream render legible words inside the frame, so a sign, a label, or a screen in your shot can carry real copy. Name the exact wording in the prompt. This suits text that belongs in the scene rather than captions laid over it.
What kind of text works best on video?
Short lines beat long ones. Two lines at a time, high contrast against the footage, and a shadow or outline so the type survives a busy background. Keep captions clear of the lower edge, where most platforms place their own interface.
