Proofread an AI ad’s caption words

Captions should describe the speech that actually made it into the finished video. Review the audio, the heard words and their timing before rendering a captioned copy. An approved script is your comparison document; it is not a substitute for listening to the file.

Separate two kinds of mismatch

Suppose the approved line for a hypothetical notebook is, “A cloth cover and an elastic closure.” If the video audibly says “leather cover,” the video has changed the claim. If the audio correctly says “cloth” but the transcript displays another word, that is a transcription error. The corrective decision depends on which mismatch occurred.

Listen before reading

Play the whole video once without concentrating on the captions. Write what you hear at any uncertain point. Then compare with the approved line and the studio’s heard words. This avoids letting a plausible transcript persuade you that the audio says something it does not.

Give extra attention to product names, numbers, negations and the final word. “Not included” becoming “included” changes meaning. A misspelled brand may be visually small but still matters in a public ad. Check the first word as well: it can be lost if the speaker begins at the file boundary.

Know what the current editor changes

fairytale video lets you choose the caption font, animation and text box. It does not provide a transcript-word editing control. Do not search for a promised correction button or assume changing the approved script will rewrite captions already heard from a finished video.

If words are incorrect, retain the original and withhold that captioned copy. A separate captioning workflow capable of correction is one option; a new paid video generation is relevant only when the audible speech itself needs a revised approved line. Diagnose the cause before spending on another render.

Check timing and the final file

Add captions explicitly starts transcription of the finished clip and costs no extra credits. Once the words are acceptable, choose a supported font and animation, inspect the live preview and render a separate MP4. Watch that output through again: the final file is the released artifact.

Record any unresolved ambiguity rather than marking the file approved. See approved-speech review, font character support and release gates to keep the check connected to the rest of production.
