Why these settings

The caption style is the one from our all-nighter painting vlog page. Naming it in the prompt is faster than fixing it afterwards.
On TikTok, the bottom of the screen is covered by the post caption, username, and buttons, so captions sit above it.
One bigger caption is enough. If every line is big, none of them stand out.
The first line on this format is usually something like "11:40 pm, it's blank, it's due at 9". That's the one to make bigger.

Fixes

Captions over your face. "Move captions to the lower third."
Wrong word. "At 0:12 the caption should say [word]."
Too many words on screen. "Max 3 words per caption."
Style doesn't match what you had in mind. Attach a video you like and say "match the captions in this".

FAQ

What caption style fits an all-nighter painting vlog? Timestamps as titles, phrases over the talking. To copy a style from another video, attach it and say "match the captions in this".

Can it spell names right? Yes, if you list them. "Spell these as Vyra, sulansart, gesso."
