Adding Captions and Your Logo to Videos

Overview

In the Social Cascade Teleprompter app, you can burn captions into your video so people can follow along with the sound off. If your team has a logo in Brand Kit, you can add the logo too.

Caption text comes from your script, so names and medical terms are spelled the way you wrote them. Your speech sets the timing.

Before You Start

Follow your script closely while you record. Captions show the script, so ad-libbed words won't appear.
The take needs audio. Captions aren't available for a take recorded without the microphone.
To add a logo, a team Admin must upload one in the web app under Account Settings → Brand Kit. See Manage your Brand Kit.

How to Add Captions

On Create Post, turn on Add captions.
Under Caption Style, tap the style row to open the style picker.
Browse by category (Trending, Bold, Minimal, Creative), search with Search styles..., or filter by Word-by-word, Phrase, Sentence or Effects.
Select a style, then tap Apply Style.
Optional: if your team has Brand Kit colors, tap one under Brand colors, or tap Default.
Finish your post with Post Now, Schedule or Save to My Stream.

How to Add Your Logo

The logo options appear under Caption Style while Add captions is on.

Turn on Burn in logo.
Under Logo size, choose Small, Medium or Large.
Under Logo position, choose Top left, Top right, Bottom left or Bottom right.

If your team has no logo, you see "Add a logo in Brand Kit (web) to burn it into videos." instead.

FAQ

Q: Is this the same as a platform's own closed captions?

A: No. These captions are part of the video image, so they show everywhere the video plays.
