The caption effect composites arbitrary text on top of the underlying video and effect tracks. The text appears in a 'safe' area along the bottom of the frame, wrapping to as many lines as are needed to display all the text at the specified size.

There is also a semi transparent color placed behind the text, which extends past the safe area to the edge of the frame. Most elements of the caption can be controlled including text and background color, text size and padding. The fade attribute is also supported to fade the entire effect.
