# Captions

> Ask for captions and Montage writes the words you say on screen, timed to your voice, in the font, colour and place you describe.

## How Montage knows the words

When a footage or a music with words arrives, Montage listens to it and writes down every word with the moment it is said. That is what the captions follow, word by word.

## Add captions, step by step

1. Open your video and, in **Ask**, write what you want: « Add captions, big and white, at the bottom ».
1. Name a font if you have one in mind: any Google Fonts family (« in Anton »), or a font file you added with **+** then **Add footage**.
1. Or pick a style from the Library (**+**, then **From the Library**): the captions follow it.
1. Watch, then ask again or comment on a moment: « @0:12 this word is wrong ».

## What to ask

| You want | Ask |
|---|---|
| One word at a time | « Show the captions one word at a time » |
| Another look | « Yellow, with a black outline » |
| Another place | « Move the captions above my chin » |
| A word fixed | « At 0:12 it's "Montage", not "montage" » |
| The same captions in other videos | « Save these captions as a component » |

## Questions

### Which languages work?

### Can I remove the captions later?

Yes. Ask « remove the captions », or go back to an earlier line of the History.

### Do the captions come with the export?

Yes. They are part of the picture, in the video file you export.
