​

How to remove captions completely?

• For new projects (prevent captions from generating)

The easiest way to avoid captions is to set up a no-caption brand template prior to submitting a project:

1. Go to Brand Template and create a new template
2. Turn off the captions toggle in the template settings
3. Select this template when submitting a new project

This prevents captions from being generated entirely, so you won’t need to click into each clip to remove caption manually afterward.

• For existing projects

If your clips have already been generated with captions, you’ll need to turn off caption for each clip individually in the editor.

• For hardcoded captions:

If the captions are already hardcoded (burned into the video itself), there unfortunately isn’t a way for OpusClip to remove them. The only way to avoid those captions would be to use a version of the source video that doesn’t have captions burned in.
