Why you need a ready‑made Beast template
Premiere Pro lets you animate text, but building the chunky MrBeast look takes dozens of layers, keyframes and expressions. You end up copying the same style from video to video. That eats time and introduces errors.
Sycamore gives you the Beast template with one click. Upload your exported video, let the service transcribe it, then apply the animated caption style. The result matches the loud, high‑energy look you see on MrBeast’s channel without any manual keyframing.
Common caption mistakes in Premiere
Creating a text layer for every line and missing a word timing.
Let Sycamore generate word‑level timing automatically; you only edit mis‑heard words.
Placing captions at the bottom where YouTube’s UI covers them.
Choose top or center in Sycamore so the captions stay visible.
Using a font that clashes with the Beast style.
Select the default Beast font in the template or keep the default color and outline.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How do I add MrBeast‑style captions to a Premiere Pro edit?
Export your edit as MP4, upload it to Sycamore, choose the Beast template, then download the captioned video and place it back in Premiere.
Can I edit a word that Sycamore mis‑heard?
Click the word in the transcript, type the correct spelling, and the timing stays the same.
What positions are available for the Beast captions?
You can put them at the top, center or bottom. Choose the spot that keeps the YouTube UI clear.
Do I need to create a subtitle file for YouTube?
No. Sycamore burns the animated captions into the exported MP4, so you upload a single video file.
Will the Beast style work on Shorts and regular YouTube videos?
Yes. Sycamore supports 9:16, 16:9 and 1:1, so the same caption file works for both formats.
