ig-captions

Builds and styles burnt-in captions for short-form vertical video — step 2 of the six-step editing SOP. Owns transcription-to-timing accuracy, the caption band placement (45-60% of frame height, under the chin, NOT the bottom third), the locked type spec, semantic colour emphasis, the hard-cut rule (captions never slide or fade), and the choice between HyperFrames-rendered caption compositions and Premiere's native caption track. Use whenever the user wants to: add captions or subtitles, fix caption timing or sync, restyle captions, change caption placement or font, emphasise words, or asks why their captions look cheap. Most short-form is watched on mute, so captions are not an accessory — the video does not work without them. Triggers: add captions, captions, subtitles, caption timing, caption style, word by word captions, kinetic captions, sync the captions, captions are off, caption font, caption placement, burn in subtitles, emphasise the keyword, highlight a word.
