FEATURE · SUBTITLES
Subtitles that look like your channel
Generate subtitles from speech, style the font and color, add word-level highlights, and bake captions into the final MP4.
Captions are part of the video's identity
Subtitles are not just accessibility text. In short-form video, they are part of the visual system: font, size, color, rhythm, and placement all affect how the channel feels.
Platform captions are useful, but they look like platform captions. Fuse lets you create subtitles that match the video instead of depending on whatever style the platform applies after upload.
Baked-in subtitles stay consistent after export
Fuse burns styled subtitles into the MP4 during export. That means the captions are part of the video itself, not a separate platform layer.
This helps when you want the same caption style to appear consistently across uploads, devices, and reposts.

FAQ
What's the difference between baked-in subtitles and platform captions?
Baked-in subtitles are part of the exported video itself, so they always appear exactly as you styled them. Platform captions are added after upload by apps like TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube and may look different depending on the platform. With Fuse, baked-in subtitles give you more control over how captions look in the video, including font, size, color, position, and style.
Can I generate subtitles automatically?
Yes. Fuse can generate subtitles from the speech in your video and place them on the timeline. After that, you can edit the text, adjust timing, restyle the subtitles, add new subtitle blocks, or remove the ones you do not need.
What subtitle styling options does Fuse support?
Fuse currently supports a set of built-in fonts, font size selection, color selection, basic vertical placement such as top, middle, or bottom, and subtitle style options such as clean, box, and outline. We're also expanding subtitle design controls further, including options like background treatment and transparency.
Does Fuse support karaoke-style word-by-word subtitles?
Not yet. Fuse currently supports subtitle blocks on the timeline, not karaoke-style word-by-word highlighting. If that changes in the future, we'll announce it in What's New.
Can I move subtitles to avoid TikTok or Instagram UI elements?
Right now, you can place subtitles in basic positions like top, middle, or bottom. We're also working on platform-safe presets that place subtitles in safer areas for apps like TikTok and Instagram, so they are less likely to be covered by interface elements such as buttons, counters, or comments.
Can I edit subtitle timing manually?
Yes. You can edit subtitle timing on the timeline after subtitles are generated. This lets you correct timing, shorten or extend subtitle blocks, and make the captions better match the pacing of the video.
Can I add subtitles manually instead of generating them?
Yes. You can add subtitle blocks manually and edit their text directly inside the project. This is useful when you want full control or need to correct auto-generated subtitles.
Do subtitles cost credits?
Right now, subtitle generation is free in Fuse. That may change later for more advanced subtitle features, but at the moment you can generate and edit subtitles without spending credits.
Can I import an SRT or VTT file?
No. Fuse does not currently support importing SRT or VTT subtitle files. Right now, subtitles are created and edited directly inside the project.
Can I export subtitles as a separate subtitle file?
Not right now. Fuse currently exports subtitles as part of the video. If separate subtitle-file export becomes available later, we'll include it in the release notes.
