Why these settings

The caption style is the one from our speed paint video 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.

Fixes

Text too long to read. "Cut the title to 5 words."
Text covers the subject. "Move the title to the top third."
Style doesn't match what you had in mind. Attach a video you like and say "match the text style in this".

FAQ

What caption style fits a speed paint video? One title, maybe one line at the reveal. To copy a style from another video, attach it and say "match the captions in this".

Does a speed paint video need captions? Usually only the text in the style above. There's little speech to caption.
