SubtitleRocketWill these captions be covered by TikTok’s own UI?
The default position sits at 76% of frame height, which keeps the block above TikTok’s caption/CTA zone and clear of the right-hand action rail. You can drag it in Layout if your footage needs it.

Bold TikTok-style boxed captions
White text on a dark box, with the spoken word flashing orange. This is the style most people mean by “TikTok captions”: readable on any footage because the box guarantees contrast.
Preview and MP4 export share one renderer; what you see here is what exports.

On a phone
The box keeps contrast on bright and dark footage alike, so this is the safest loud style for mixed clips. Leave the default lower-third position; it clears the TikTok action rail and caption zone.
How the word highlight behaves
The orange word-box advances with the transcript’s word timings, in preview and in the exported MP4 alike.
FAQ
Can I change the box or highlight color?
Yes. The template is a starting point; box color, text color, size, and position are all editable before export.
