Tune Caption Behavior

Caption output

Sequence’s Transcription settings include a caption formatting preview so you can see how exported captions and title text will break/behave before you export. Use it to tune readability for your preferred platform or editor workflow.

Sentence and word grouping

Caption behavior can follow sentence grouping or split by words, depending on the export format and your settings. Sentence-based output keeps phrasing natural, while word-based output gives you tighter control when you need shorter caption chunks.

Line length and words per caption

Use the line length and words-per-caption controls to decide how much text appears at once. Shorter lines are easier to read on mobile or social clips; longer lines can be more comfortable for review exports and editor timelines.

Auto mode

If your delivery specs do not require a precise format, Auto is a good starting point. Sequence chooses sensible caption behavior, and you can still override the settings later if the preview does not match the style you want.

Profanity and hidden words

Caption output is built from the current presented transcript. Hidden or disabled words are omitted where appropriate, and profanity redaction is applied using the active variant’s cleanup settings.

Extra export options

Sequence can export subtitle and transcript sidecars including TXT, CSV, SBV, SRT, ASS and VTT. You can toggle these from Export settings, and when enabled they are saved alongside your Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve bundle.
