Brands need exact names in captions
When a creator sends a video to a brand, the brand checks every mention. A misspelled product name can cause a rejection or a delay. Sycamore lets you click any word in the transcript and type the correct spelling while keeping the timing intact. That saves you from re‑exporting the whole clip.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How do I add brand‑exact captions to a UGC video?
Upload the clip, pick a template, click any misspelled brand name in the transcript and type the correct version. Export the MP4 and send it to the brand.
Can I change the caption color to match a brand palette?
Yes. In the editor you can set text color, highlight color and outline to any hex value the brand provides.
What positions are available for captions?
You can place captions at the top, center or bottom. Choose the spot that stays clear of logos or product shots.
Do I need to export a subtitle file for the brand?
No. Sycamore burns the animated captions into the MP4, so the brand receives a single video file.
Is there a limit on how long my UGC clip can be?
The free plan lets you caption up to 10 minutes of video on sign‑up. Paid plans start at $19 a month for longer clips.
