Moving and resizing captions

Captions are now an overlay you can drag and resize directly on top of the video preview in the editor.

Drag

Click anywhere on the caption layer and drag. The layer snaps to safe zones (top third, middle, bottom third) so it stays inside the frame on every aspect ratio you'll post to.

Resize

Grab a corner handle to scale. Default is 75% of frame width, which reads cleanly on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

Save and reset

Your layout saves automatically per yap. If you want to start over, click Reset layout in the Captions tab.

Hook overlays

Captions live below the hook overlay (the bold title that sits over the first few seconds of the yap). Both can be repositioned independently, and Yapflo wraps the hook text so it never runs off the side.

What plays where

The drag-to-position layout shows in the editor preview AND burns into the exported MP4. The position you set in the editor is what your audience sees.
