Fast cuts need instant captions
A hype edit jumps from one clip to the next every second. Viewers skim, so a single line of dialogue must appear the instant it’s heard. Sycamore transcribes the audio and places each word with exact timing, so the caption keeps pace with the beat.
You can pick a bold template and set the captions at the top, center or bottom. The placement stays fixed, so the text never blocks a key visual during a quick transition.
Common caption oversights in hype edits
Putting captions at the bottom where a cut often ends with a logo or call‑to‑action.
Move captions to the top or center so the final frame stays clean.
Using a tiny font that disappears during rapid motion.
Increase font size and choose a high‑contrast color to stay readable.
Leaving a full sentence on screen while the next clip starts.
Lower words per line so each burst of text clears before the next cut.
