# How to add designed captions to a talking-head video with hyperframes

Repo: [heygen-com/hyperframes](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README

Overlay styled subtitles on existing footage without touching the original video.

**Who it is for:** Creator with a recorded talk or podcast clip who needs captions that look designed

**The problem:** Auto-captions are plain, and styling them in an editor eats an evening.

**The outcome:** The original footage with verbatim captions, or captions embedded behind the subject, rendered as a new MP4.

## Steps

1. Install the skills with: npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes
2. Pick Core Skills and restart your agent.
3. Run /embedded-captions and point it at your video file.
4. Pick a caption style (verbatim rail, embedded climax, or pure-cinematic embed).
5. Read through the rendered video and fix any misheard words.

## Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Use /embedded-captions from heygen-com/hyperframes on <video file> with a verbatim rail style. Verify the captions match what is said word for word.
```

## Caveat

Caption accuracy depends on transcription of your audio, so noisy audio or names and jargon will need a manual proofread.
