Captions that export exactly as you see them
Dollop writes captions from your video’s transcript and styles them the way your style profile says: a preset, a font, words per line, position and animation. They’re placed inside each platform’s safe area, burned into vertical versions, and the export draws them with the same fonts the editor previews.
Styles and fonts
Start from one of five presets: Clean lower, Bold pop, Word highlight, Boxed or Minimal. Then change the font, size, weight, text and highlight colors, background, outline, capitals, position, words per line and number of lines, or animate them word by word, with a pop or with a fade.
Ten fonts ship with both the editor and the exporter: Inter, Montserrat, Poppins, Oswald, Bebas Neue, Anton, Playfair Display, Pacifico, Permanent Marker and Caveat.
Placed for each platform
Shorts, Reels and TikTok draw buttons and text over parts of the video. Captions are positioned inside each platform’s safe area, and they’re burned in on vertical versions so they show wherever the video plays.
Fix a word once
Correct a misheard word in the transcript and regenerate the captions. You can also import an existing transcript as SRT, VTT or JSON.
Caption files with every export
Exports can include SRT and VTT caption files, a plain-text transcript with timecodes and a chapter list alongside the video, ready to upload to YouTube.
Questions
Yes. The editor and the exporter use the same ten font files. A font without a bold face is drawn regular rather than faked.
Yes. Ask for bigger captions, all capitals, fewer words per line, word highlight or captions moved up, and review the change before it’s applied.
On Shorts, Reels and TikTok versions, yes. YouTube versions keep them as separate caption files by default, and you can turn burn-in on or off for any version.
