Last updated: April 16, 2026

This article covers how to generate, style, and manage captions on your video project using the Captions tab in the left panel.

Note that captions can only be added after the audio has been generated for your VO script.

  • "Add auto captions to your project": the main action to generate captions

  • Generate for dropdown: choose the scope of caption generation

  • Style presets: pre-designed caption looks you can apply and customize

Ask Wonda to add captions

You can ask Wonda to handle caption tasks conversationally. For example:

  • "Add captions to the entire project"

  • "Generate captions for just the intro clip"

  • "Change the caption style to something more corporate"

Wonda will generate, style, or update captions based on your direction.
