Problem
Most AI captions stop at "transcribe and stick it on."
A flat AI transcript on top of a vertical video is technically captions, but it rarely feels like a video you would actually post. Sizing, line breaks, placement, and style still need work. The publishing loop slows down where it should speed up.
AI accuracy is not the only problem
Even a clean transcript still needs styling, placement, and edits before a short looks ready.
Generic captions miss the moment
A flat overlay rarely guides the eye to the line, idea, or turn that matters in a short clip.
Manual touch-ups eat the day
Resizing, repositioning, and re-exporting per video is slow when you post several clips a week.
How Headroom helps

Word-timed captions follow the rhythm of the speaker, not a fixed cadence.
Caption styles you can swap
