video-use Subtitles: Check Product Names Before Export
Summary

video use subtitles can misstate a product name. Build a source-of-truth list, review cut timing and check the rendered video before export.

Make AI videos just by chatting.

Read the product name in the subtitles as if you were going to search for it. The spelling should lead to the exact product shown, including its model suffix.

A review of video-use subtitles follows that name from the approved brief through transcription, the edited sequence, and the rendered picture. Correct wording at one stage does not establish that the delivered video is correct.

Which Product Names Must Match the Source Brief?

Check the brand, full product name, model suffix, and any spoken SKU or accessory name. Include capitalization, digits, and hyphens where they distinguish the approved product.

Consider Brin, a fictional brand whose ArcTray S2 desk tray has SKU AT-S2. The names and possible transcription errors below are illustrative.

“ArcTray S2” and “ArcTray S3” would identify different models in this brief. A caption reviewer needs the current product record to resolve that difference. A plausible spelling from the recording alone is insufficient.

If the SKU is not spoken, use a separately approved product callout when needed. Do not insert it into captions as though the presenter said it.

Build a Name List Before Transcription

Copy the exact terms from the approved brief and current product record. Add the source version and the person who can resolve a mismatch.

Use this table as a working review sheet. Replace the fictional entries with your own names and record the result at each stage.

Illustrated product-name review from the approved brief through transcript, subtitles, and final frame

This list is a review reference, not a guarantee of recognition. As checked on November 4, 2026, the transcription helper requests ElevenLabs Scribe with word timestamps and speaker diarization. Do not assume an instruction to the coding agent automatically becomes a transcription dictionary.

Before processing customer or presenter material, verify the actual permissions and consent. The helper uploads extracted audio to ElevenLabs; review the applicable data policy, contract, and retention settings. This article does not provide legal advice.

Review Captions Against Speech and Claims

Listen to each retained product mention and compare it with the approved term. Separate a recognition error from a mistake in the spoken recording.

If the presenter says the right model and the transcript spells it incorrectly, correct the working caption source. Preserve the original transcript for reference. If the presenter says the wrong model, return the passage for an approved recording or editing decision. Changing only the subtitle would leave viewers hearing and reading different claims.

Also check qualifiers beside the name: “only,” “not,” quantities, and accessory compatibility. Do not let a spelling pass approve an unsupported product statement.

The current caption builder reads word entries from source transcript JSON. Editing only takes_packed.md, the agent's readable transcript, will not update those entries. Confirm which corrected file the next subtitle build will use.

Check Timing After Cuts and Overlays

Review captions on the edited timeline. Removing an introduction changes where later words appear, even when their source timestamps remain the same.

The current subtitle-building code calculates output times from source-word timing and selected clip ranges. It also uppercases generated subtitle text. If mixed-case product spelling matters, request that treatment explicitly; the shipped behavior will need adjustment.

For ArcTray S2, inspect the whole phrase around each cut. The model suffix should remain readable with the name. Avoid a fleeting final “S2” cue that disappears before a viewer can connect it to the product.

The renderer applies subtitles after overlays, but they can still cover a product label or hand movement. Check the composition, including the longest name and every lower-third graphic.

Inspect the Rendered Video Before Export

Play the actual rendered file from beginning to end. A clean text file cannot show a clipped letter, an unreadable line break, or captions missing from one segment.

Check once with sound for wording and synchronization, then without sound for readability. Inspect cut boundaries, the first product introduction, and the closing frame. Confirm that the visible label, spoken model, and captions identify the same item.

Record the approved source, subtitle, and render versions together. After a correction, rebuild and review the affected passage in context. Recheck the full video if cuts or timing changed.

If the review uncovers a problem with the explanation itself, carry the approved vocabulary into your product-explainer brief. Teams continuing production through Pexo's explainer workflow can provide that brief with approved footage. Review names again in the new output.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can video-use reuse a cached transcript after a source file changes?

It can, but that may reuse stale text. The current helper returns an existing transcript path without checking source-file contents. Version replacement footage distinctly and confirm fresh transcription before rebuilding captions.

Can subtitle styling be changed without changing the cut?

Yes, by retaining the approved clip ranges while changing the subtitle treatment. Ask the coding agent for that scope explicitly. Render again and check wrapping, duration, and product visibility; do not assume styling leaves readability unchanged.

Does video-use export a separate caption file?

The renderer can build master.srt when subtitle generation is requested. Preserve the approved SRT alongside the video. Rebuilding from unchanged, uncorrected transcripts can overwrite manual SRT fixes, so keep the corrected upstream source too.

How are multiple speakers represented in the source transcript?

The helper requests diarization, and returned word entries can carry speaker IDs. Verify who each ID represents. Those IDs do not establish a person's identity or automatically guarantee visible speaker labels in rendered captions.

Can a corrected product name be carried into a later project session?

Yes. Save the approved name list with the project, reference it in project.md, and ask the next session to load it. Record the corrected caption source too. Session memory does not itself guarantee that a rebuilt subtitle file uses the correction.
