Add burned-in captions to finished video

Guy Lawrence

With social media videos so essential for marketing, have the ability export the finished video with the captions visible on the video would be really helpful.

Dan Reyes-Cairo Hey Dan is this feature really done? I know the captions are embedded in the file, but there's no option to burn them into the actual video. If I missed something here please let me know!

Benedict Mortimer: Yep - you'll want to insert Fancy Captions into your timeline / pinned track: https://help.descript.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060910412-Fancy-Captions-

Video with waveform and burnt-in subtitles

Laurent Perrier

When posting your audio content to some social media platforms such as IGTV, Twitter, or even YouTube, it's popular to have a background image, a waveform, and burnt-in subtitles to support the audio content.
This is currently a lot of repetitive work to put together in Premiere / AE.

Any update on this guys? Very easy to implement and currently a headache to workaround

This would be a MASSIVE feature for me as a social media manager. I am constantly needing to add captions to video and this would save me multiple hours a week.

The ability to add captions to the audiograms, and ideally have options for burned in captions or subtitles would be amazing!

Embed caption/subtitle data in exported video files

Ability to Automatically add the captions within the exported video. To save a step of exporting the video, then exporting the caption file, then layering in Premiere and exporting.

Subtitles

Ernest McLeod

It would be great if I could overlay a video using the transcription as subtitles directly within Descript and then export a new video.

Agree - there needs to be a way of burning subtitles in as some social media sites (e.g. Instagram) won't let you upload a video with embedded subtitles (Youtube will, cause they have a feature to let the user turn subtitles on/off).
