Text behindthe person.
The big title sits behind the speaker, as if it's part of the room. CAPWAV finds the person in every frame and draws your title between them and the background, then exports the video with the effect baked in.
Clean · you'll see it on your own video before captions are made. Only the audio is sent to be transcribed.
Exporting titles behind the person is part of the Pro plan.
The person, cut out every frame
CAPWAV detects the person in each frame of your video and keeps a cut-out of them, so the title can sit behind their head and shoulders while they move. It runs in your browser; your video isn't uploaded.
Add a title, place it where the person will pass in front of it, and switch it to behind. The preview shows the effect as it will export.
Titles that look designed
Use a heavy title font, big, across the top half of the frame: it reads best when the person covers part of it. Captions stay in front, so the words being spoken are always readable.
Combine it with word-by-word captions from the auto caption generator for a full short-video edit.

Which plan do I need?
Exporting titles behind the person is part of the Pro plan. You can try it in the editor on any plan.
Does it work on any video?
It works best with one person who stands out clearly from the background. Busy scenes or several people can make the cut-out less clean.
Can captions go behind the person too?
Titles go behind; captions always stay in front, so the spoken words are never hidden.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Finding the person, previewing and exporting all happen in your browser.
