Captions.ai's job is mobile social captioning as a standalone app: a talking clip on a phone, a caption pass, a post. Versely's Caption Studio is the opposite shape of that product — a public style index at /caption-styles, where each family is live CSS you can read in a browser before any file is uploaded. Karaoke motion is a different page on this surface. Fast speech burn-in is a different page too. This one is the shelf.
What that shelf actually is, and how a chosen family gets onto a clip, is below.
The style index is a URL, not a phone picker
/caption-styles is Caption Studio: every font, colour, outline, card and animation rendered from the real preset fields as CSS on the page. You open it the way you open any other Versely surface, not as a hidden control inside a mobile editor.
Each family also has its own group URL. Classic, Paper and Ink are the everyday social shelf — readable on a muted feed — and they live at /caption-styles/group/classic, /caption-styles/group/paper and /caption-styles/group/ink.
Classic, Paper and Ink are the social default
Classic is white type with a stroke, the everyday social caption. Paper is a carded block. Ink is a heavier, print-adjacent treatment. Those three are what this page points at on purpose: they are looks you choose by eye on the index, not motion treatments whose whole point is the bounce.
Five variants sit inside each group. The group page puts them next to the same sample string so the difference is the CSS, not a marketing screenshot.
The burn is a later step, not the product
add_veed_captions is how a chosen look lands on a talking clip: speech becomes timed lines, the preset is the skin, the result is pixels in the MP4. transcribe-and-caption-my-video is that same job as one instruction to the agent.
Browse first. Burn second. The index does not listen to audio; the captioner does not replace the index.
The generator sits in the same account
ai-caption-generator is the tool page for the transcribe-and-burn path. Caption Studio is the style shelf that tool reads from. Both are inside the same app that already holds the clip — there is no export to a separate mobile captioner between picking Classic and rendering it.
How it works
1. Open /caption-styles
Read the families as live CSS. Classic, Paper and Ink are the everyday social shelf this page is for.
2. Open a group URL if two variants are close
/caption-styles/group/classic (or paper, or ink) puts the five variants on one sample string.
3. Point add_veed_captions at the talking clip
Name the preset. Speech is timed automatically. The look you picked on the index is the skin.
4. Export the burned MP4
The line is pixels. A muted feed cannot hide it, and a re-upload does not drop it.
Where this lives in Versely
Who this fits
- Talking clips destined for TikTok, Reels or Shorts, captioned after the look is chosen on /caption-styles
- A channel standardising on Classic, Paper or Ink because those families read on mute
- Comparing two variants in one family on the group page before a batch burn
- Skipping a separate mobile captioning app between edit and post
Frequently asked questions
How does Versely compare to Captions.ai?+
Caption Studio is a public index at /caption-styles — Classic, Paper and Ink rendered as live CSS — and add_veed_captions burns the chosen family onto the talking clip in the same app. The shelf is the page; the burn is the later step.
Is this the karaoke / high-motion caption page?+
No. Hype, Snap and Signature are the high-motion families; they are not what this page leads with. Classic, Paper and Ink are the readable social shelf, previewed on /caption-styles.
Do I have to upload a clip before I can see a look?+
No. /caption-styles and each /caption-styles/group/{family} page render the preset as CSS from the real style fields. The clip is only needed when you are ready to burn.
Which tool actually puts the family on the video?+
add_veed_captions, also reached as transcribe-and-caption-my-video. The index does not transcribe. The captioner does not replace the index.
