Give each audio layer one job. Add another layer only when it helps the viewer understand or feel the video.

Play with sound. The same real HyperFrames scene first lets music compete with the line, then gives the voice room while keeping a stable caption rail.

​
Create a voiceover

Give the agent the approved wording and useful voice direction:
The project can keep the script, audio, and word-level transcript separately. That lets you regenerate the voice without discarding the timing and caption work around it. Listen before building the final edit. Fix wording, pronunciation, or delivery in the script or voice direction rather than cutting around a bad read.

​
Transcribe recorded speech

Transcription creates timed words from an audio or video file. Start with the automatic engine: it uses Parakeet when installed and falls back to Whisper.
Pass the spoken language when you know it. This filters non-target speech and lets the Whisper fallback choose a multilingual model when needed.
For difficult English audio, force the larger English Whisper model. For an unknown language, use multilingual large-v3 and let Whisper detect it.
Larger models take longer and do not remove the need to read the result. The command can also import an existing .srt, .vtt, or supported transcript JSON file:

​
Turn the transcript into captions

  1. Read the complete transcript.
  2. Correct names, product terms, numbers, punctuation, and obvious recognition errors.
  3. Group words into short phrases that break on meaning.
  4. Open Captions in Studio to inspect the rhythm and adjust placement, scale, or rotation. Make durable wording, timing, style, and animation changes in the caption source or ask the agent to update it.
  5. Watch once with sound for synchronization and once muted for readability.
Captions should follow what was said. They should not cover a face, product control, or another important visual. Use emphasis on the few words that carry the point instead of making every word compete. For an existing talking-head clip, use Captions or recuts to choose between plain captions, designed graphic overlays, and an actual change to the spoken edit.

​
Mix for understanding

  • Keep voice clear above music.
  • Duck music under important speech instead of reducing the whole track equally.
  • Use sound effects for meaningful events, not every movement.
  • Avoid cutting words, breaths, or reverb tails accidentally at scene boundaries.
  • Let a deliberate silence remain silent.
  • Listen on ordinary headphones and laptop speakers.
When narration drives the project, time visual changes to its real transcript rather than estimated scene lengths. When music drives the project, use the music-video workflow and its analyzed structure.

​
Review the complete sound pass

  • The correct voice and source recordings are used.
  • Names, claims, and captions are accurate.
  • Speech stays clear through the loudest musical section.
  • Effects arrive with the action they support.
  • The opening does not surprise the listener with excessive volume.
  • Music and ambience finish intentionally instead of stopping at the file edge.
Render a review file and listen without watching once. Audio problems are often easier to notice when the visuals are not competing for attention.
