Captions
Burned-in, transcript-timed subtitles with word-pop and karaoke styles and safe-area presets for 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16.
Use captions when someone is speaking and the words need to be on screen — talking-head clips, voiceover demos, anything watched muted on a feed. These components take a timed transcript and render frame-accurate, burned-in subtitles inside per-aspect safe areas. For decorative headlines and titles, use Text & Titles instead.
The components
2 free Remotion subtitle animations. Each card plays its own default scene — open one for its props, the source file shadcn add writes, and a player you can scrub frame by frame.
Install
Components are installed into your own Remotion project with the shadcn CLI, and the file it writes is yours to edit — there is no snapcn package to depend on. Set the registry up once, then add components by name:
$ pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @snapcn/word-captionsNeeds an existing Remotion project and a components.json. Two-minute setup if this is your first snapcn component.
That writes components/snap-cn/word-captions.tsx. Swap the name for any other component on this page.
Put it on screen
Every prop has a working default, so the component renders as soon as it is mounted — give it a composition and you have a video:
// src/Root.tsximport { Composition } from "remotion";import { WordCaptions } from "@/components/snap-cn/word-captions";export const RemotionRoot = () => ( <Composition id="WordCaptions" component={WordCaptions} durationInFrames={96} fps={30} width={1280} height={720} />);durationInFrames is the length WordCaptions is choreographed for — 96 frames at 30 fps. Cut it short and the animation is cut short with it. To use one as a beat inside a longer video, mount it in a <Sequence>of the same length instead of giving it a composition of its own. Each component's page lists its props; they are all plain values, so anything you can compute you can animate.

Frequently asked questions
How do I add a Remotion subtitle animation to a Remotion project?
Every Remotion subtitle animation here installs with the shadcn CLI — npx shadcn@latest add @snapcn/word-captions copies Word Captions into your project as a file you own, written against the plain Remotion API. There is no runtime package to keep installed.
Are snapcn's Remotion subtitle animations free?
2 of them are MIT-licensed and free to use commercially.
Do I need Remotion to use a Remotion subtitle animation?
Yes. snapcn is a component registry, not a video framework — each component is a React component built on Remotion's useCurrentFrame() and interpolate(), so it renders inside an existing Remotion project.
