Generate and style subtitles for every clip that reaches this node.

Schema

  • Input: Video or clips from an upstream trigger or editing node
  • Output: Video or clips with generated subtitles applied

Add the node

Open Workflows from the left sidebar and click New to open the workflow builder. Add a trigger first, then continue in the Editing stage. Choose Add Subtitles from the editing node panel. Overlap adds an action node to the canvas and opens the subtitle style panel on the right. Click the Add Subtitles node on the canvas whenever you need to reopen its settings.

Choose a subtitle style

The right-side panel opens to Styles with a clip preview and preset subtitle looks. Current presets include options such as Subway Surfers, Elegant Speech Highlight, Blocky Bounce, Standard Loud, Plain Black, Murder Mystery, Futuristic, Blue Highlight, Fancy Highlight, and Smooth Fade. Until a style is selected, the node shows No subtitles selected and marks the setting as required. Select a preset to apply it, or click Customize on a preset when you want to adjust the style before using it. Use Choose All Speakers when the same subtitle style should apply across detected speakers.

Customize the style

Click Customize on a preset to open the subtitle editor. The current controls include:
  • Y Position
  • Size
  • Max Chars Per Line
  • Max Lines
  • Typography controls such as font family, weight, case, italic, letter spacing, and text opacity
  • Colors controls such as base text and background
The Preview area updates the selected style as you adjust these values. Click Done when the subtitle style is ready.

Build the rest of the workflow

Use Add Subtitles after the workflow has a video or clip source. A common flow is New YouTube Video -> Find Clips -> Add Subtitles -> Post to Social. Finish the workflow with an export node, then click Publish when the workflow is ready.
