After captions are on the timeline, click the phrase or the word you want to change. The inspector opens next to the preview.
Edit a phrase
Click the caption phrase on the timeline, such as “Hey guys, Jason here.”
In the phrase panel you can:
- Rewrite the phrase text.
- Change the caption style for that phrase.
- Move or rotate the phrase.
- Set when the phrase starts and ends.
Edit a word
Click one word inside the phrase.
In the word panel you can:
- Fix spelling.
- Set the word’s start and end.
- Change the word color.
- Apply word effects such as Breaks or Focus.
- Delete the word.
Changing one word does not restyle the rest of the video. To change the look of every caption, use Captions style or customize the template.
Fix a bad transcript
If a name or product is wrong throughout the video, ask AI chat to replace that word, then spot-check the timeline. Chat can update the transcript across the clip. The phrase and word panels are for the lines you want to set by hand. Last modified on November 5, 2026
