Generating burnt-in subtitles
Rendering burnt-in subtitles with caption formatting
The formatting you apply in the caption editor now directly determines how your burnt-in subtitles will appear. To ensure styling is applied correctly, refer to our guides on applying caption formatting, managing format templates, and setting a default template at the team level. Styles applied to individual captions will be preserved in the final render.
Note: CaptionHub automatically detects the script for each language, and if your selected font doesn’t support the required characters, it switches to the appropriate regional Noto font variant. For instance, if Chinese characters are detected, then Noto Sans CJK will automatically be used.

When ready to render:
- Navigate to the Export tab of your project.

- Click Create > Burnt-in subtitles.
- You’ll receive an alert:
“Caption formatting is now done directly in the editor. Any styles you've applied to individual captions in the editor will be rendered.”
If you're happy to proceed, click Render to initiate the rendering process.
You can keep track of the status from the Export tab.
