Cues as data
A caption is a headline and an optional body per scene, timed from the plan. Editing the cues rewrites the sidecar on the next export; it does not reopen a timeline.
Voiceover and captions
Watch it muted without losing the story
Caption cues stored with the plan and exported as SRT, plus an uploaded narration track.
Live: caption cues are stored per scene and exported as an SRT sidecar with the film, and an uploaded narration track is mixed under music at export. No text is burned into frames; the film uses uploaded narration only and does not synthesise a voice.
Most property videos are watched muted on a phone. Captions are therefore not an accessibility afterthought bolted on at export; they are part of the scene plan, stored per scene and exported as a sidecar with the film.
How it is meant to work
Voice is optional and licensed
An uploaded narration always works. Generated voice is offered only once the language quality and the voice licence are verified — a synthesised French accent that embarrasses the agency is worse than no voice.
Thai, Arabic and Latin in one renderer
Thai needs different line-height and Arabic needs bidirectional shaping. Both are constraints on the renderer, not a font toggle at the end.

Questions
Will captions be editable after export?
The plan's headline and body cues are exported as a sidecar SRT on every Fidelity export; burned-in captions do not exist. Edit the cues on the project and re-export to rewrite the sidecar.
