Hi,

We see the issue in your screenshot. The text from the auto captions is becoming tiny and almost invisible when you apply effects like "Jumpy Film". This is a common issue when effects designed for video frames interact unexpectedly with text overlays.

Here's why this might be happening and how you can try to fix it:

1. Effect Application Scope: Many effects in CapCut can be applied to different elements. By default, an effect might apply to "All videos" or everything on screen, including text layers, causing distortion or scaling.

   • Solution: Try changing the object the effect applies to.
     • Tap on the "Jumpy Film" effect layer in your timeline (as you have it selected in the screenshot).
     • Look for the "Object" button at the bottom (it's visible in your screenshot). Tap it.
     • You should see options like "All videos", "Main video", potentially "Text", or specific overlay tracks.
     • Select "Main video" (or the specific video clip track the effect should apply to). Make sure it's not set to "All videos" or anything that includes the text layer.
     • Do this for any other effects (like Noise, Vignette) that might be causing similar issues.

2. Rendering Order Issue: Sometimes, even with correct layering, certain complex effects render in a way that affects all pixels on the screen after the text has been initially placed, inadvertently altering it.

3. Workaround: Export and Re-import: If changing the "Object" setting doesn't work, this is often the most reliable fix:

   • Step 1: Remove the auto-captions for now.
   • Step 2: Apply the "Jumpy Film" and any other desired video effects to your video clips. Adjust them as needed.
   • Step 3: Export this video (with effects, but without captions).
   • Step 4: Start a new CapCut project.
   • Step 5: Import the video you just exported (which now has the effects baked in).
   • Step 6: Now, use the "Auto Captions" feature on this newly imported clip. The captions should generate normally on top of the video, which already includes the effects.

4. Adjust Effect Intensity: Try tapping "Adjust" on the effect layer and reducing the intensity, filter strength, or any parameters related to distortion or scaling. A less intense effect might not interfere with the text as much.

5. Use Manual Text: As a last resort, instead of auto-captions, you could manually add text boxes. While tedious, these sometimes interact differently with effects compared to the auto-caption system.

6. Adjust Animation Duration: Sometimes extending the duration of text animations can resolve visibility issues. For instance, increasing the animation time from 0.1 seconds to 0.2 seconds can make captions reappear, though sometimes with unintended visual artifacts.
7. Modify Text Properties: Manually adjusting the text size, opacity, and other properties might help in making the captions visible again. 
8. Use Alternative Animations: If a specific animation is causing the problem, try using a different one to see if the issue persists. Some animations may be more compatible with text layers than others.

Start with checking the "Object" setting for the effect, as that's the most direct potential fix. If that fails, the export and re-import method (Workaround #3) is usually the most effective way to handle complex effect and text interactions.
