FAQ

Transparent captions: common questions

How do I export captions with a transparent background?

Generate and style captions in GetNixa, then choose the transparent .mov export. Place the file on a track above your video in Premiere Pro, Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve.

Which plan has transparent export?

Pro and Studio. Both also offer a green screen export. SRT is on every plan, including Free.

Why use a transparent .mov instead of an SRT?

An SRT only carries text and timing, so styling depends on your editor. A transparent .mov keeps the exact animation, fonts and colours you designed.

Will it line up with my timeline?

Yes, when you caption the final cut. Export at the same frame rate as your sequence.

Can I fix a word or change the look?

Yes. Double-click any word to fix it, pick from 100+ templates, and change colours, fonts, position and animation.
