# Add captions

Captions in the [AI video editor](/docs/agents/ai-editor) are drawn from the clip's transcript in the style of a caption preset. This release offers presets only.

\


## Add captions with a preset

1. Select **Captions** in the tool sidebar. The **Presets** tab is open.
2. Select a preset.

**Result:** Captions appear on the preview at once, in that preset's style. The word being spoken is highlighted.

To turn captions off, select the selected preset again, or select **No captions**.

\


## About the presets

* The presets are the same catalogue used when generating clips. Current presets include Reels Bold Yellow, Beast Pop, Clean News, Indic Bold, Karaoke, Ghost, Teal Shift, Titan, and Classic.
* Captions follow every cut, so they stay in sync after you delete, trim, or remove pauses.
* Caption position comes from the preset.
* To use your own colors, [apply a brand kit](/docs/agents/apply-a-brand-kit). It recolors the preset.

> **NOTE:** Captions show over the original clip only, not over intros, outros, or uploaded video. The panel reads "Captions apply to the source clip only."

\


## Things to know

* Captions can't be moved, and their text can't be edited.
* The **Font** and **Effects** tabs show **Coming soon**.
* Captions need a word-level transcript. Clips without one show "Captions aren't available for audio-only videos."

#### Frequently asked questions

Captions come from the original clip's transcript. Uploaded videos, intros, and outros aren't transcribed, so captions show over the original clip only.

Captions need a word-level transcript. A clip without one, such as an audio-only clip, can't be captioned in the editor.

Yes, with a brand kit. A brand kit recolors the preset with your caption text, highlight, and outline colors. See [Apply a brand kit](/docs/agents/apply-a-brand-kit).
