Your wedding film needs clear speech
A full‑length wedding video runs minutes, sometimes hours. Guests who can’t hear the vows or who are watching overseas rely on captions to stay with the moment. Sycamore transcribes the spoken words and syncs them word by word, so the text appears exactly as the couple speaks.
You keep the visual storytelling intact. The captions sit at the top, center or bottom, never covering the bride’s dress or the ceremony backdrop. The result is a polished film that feels like a professional production.
Common caption pitfalls for wedding films
Putting captions at the bottom where they block the wedding party entrance.
Move captions to the top or center so the aisle and guests stay visible.
Using a thin font that disappears against bright lighting.
Select a bold font weight and a contrasting outline color for readability.
Showing a whole paragraph at once during a toast.
Limit words per line so each sentence rolls in sync with the speaker.
