What you say to the agent
No special syntax — just describe it like you would to a person.
What it does, step by step
- 1
Give the agent a video URL and a preset — it defaults to "glass" for a modern look if you don't specify a vibe.
- 2
It transcribes the video's actual speech (the video must contain audible speech) and burns styled, word-timed captions using the VEED subtitle model.
- 3
You can preview a style on a short clip first before committing to the full render, and it supports transcription in 165 language codes.
What it needs from you
- •A video to work from
- •Which caption style/preset
What comes back
Your video with auto-transcribed, styled captions burned in.
What it costs
BASIC presets (21 styles) cost the standard rate; DYNAMIC presets (9 premium styles) cost double.
Good to know
- This transcribes real speech in the video. For a fixed caption you write yourself with no transcription, use the plain text-overlay capability instead.
Under the hood
This is what the agent actually calls when you ask for it — real tools from its live surface, not marketing copy.
add_veed_captionspreview_caption_stylelist_caption_fontsAdd styled, auto-transcribed captions to a video using the VEED Subtitles model (fal.ai veed/subtitles). Burns aesthetic preset styles (Glass, Whisper, Fusion, Glide, etc.) — different from add_dynamic_captions, which is the word-level animated style. Use when the user wants polished social-ready captions with a chosen visual look, or asks for VEED captions specifically. Also offer this proactively as a finishing step after any video / movie / workflow run that produces video content. Two preset tiers: BASIC (1× credit cost, 21 presets — simple/plain/beans/corpo/etc.) and DYNAMIC (2× credit cost, 9 premium presets — glass/whisper/glide2/fusion/glide/terminal/handwritten/backdrop/backdrop2). Default to preset 'glass' for a modern look unless the user specifies a vibe. Supports 165 language codes for transcription (en-US, en-GB, es-ES, es-MX, fr-FR, de-DE, it-IT, pt-BR, ja-JP, ko-KR, zh, ar-SA, ru-RU, etc.).
