Publish accessibly
Use caption files alongside supported burned-caption output.
Output and control

Keep the working evidence.
Anjin delivers more than a rendered file. Caption, edit-decision and quality-control outputs make each composition easier to publish, inspect and continue working with.

What is video captions and sidecar files?
Companion files that describe speech, edit decisions and output quality alongside a render.
Speech-bearing renders produce caption sidecars, while the result retains edit-decision and quality-control data for downstream review and tooling.
Controls and evidence
See what the system used and produced.
Useful automation leaves something a person can inspect. Anjin keeps the edit connected to its brief, source media and output settings.
CAPTIONS AND SIDECARSVERIFIABLE OUTPUT
- SRT
- Widely supported subtitle timing and text.
- VTT
- Web-focused timed text for players and publishing systems.
- ASS
- Styled subtitle instructions used by the renderer.
- EDL + QC
- Edit-decision JSON and output quality information.
Why it matters
More control, less timeline work.
Continue the workflow
Carry edit decisions into downstream systems instead of starting again.
Audit the result
Retain quality and provenance information beside the media file.
Fit and boundaries
Use the capability where it genuinely helps.
Anjin is strongest on speech-led recorded material where the editorial job can be described clearly and every selected moment needs to remain verifiable. It supports human judgement with searchable evidence, a reviewable plan and structured outputs.
A strong fit
Recorded knowledge with a story inside it
Interviews, podcasts, webinars, discussions and archive programmes benefit when the useful material is distributed across a long recording or several selected sessions.
Keep elsewhere
Final craft and image-led montage
Detailed colour, sound design, motion graphics and wordless visual storytelling remain finishing tasks for a professional editor and their preferred creative tools.
Evaluation checklist
What should you verify before adopting captions and sidecars?
SRT
Confirm that the workflow exposes this clearly: widely supported subtitle timing and text.
VTT
Confirm that the workflow exposes this clearly: web-focused timed text for players and publishing systems.
ASS
Confirm that the workflow exposes this clearly: styled subtitle instructions used by the renderer.
EDL + QC
Confirm that the workflow exposes this clearly: edit-decision JSON and output quality information.

Questions about captions and sidecars
- Which caption formats does Anjin produce?
- Speech-bearing output can include burned captions plus SRT, VTT and ASS sidecar files.
- What is an EDL sidecar?
- It is structured edit-decision data describing how selected source segments make up the finished cut.
- Can I publish without burned captions?
- Caption presentation follows the supported render and brand settings. Separate caption files support publishing workflows that need selectable subtitles.
- What does the QC sidecar contain?
- It records available quality information about the rendered result, including relevant crop and output checks.
