# Fine-tune Your Reaction

Move your face bubble, balance the sound, and choose whose words show as captions after you record a reaction.

Once a reaction is on a clip, everything about how it looks and sounds stays
adjustable. This guide covers the small controls that make a reaction feel
right: the sound balance, the captions, and where your face sits.

## Steps

### 1. Reopen your reaction

The record button in the quick-edit rail turns green when a clip has a
reaction. Tap it to open the reaction card again, then tap **Adjust** to see
the options.

### 2. Balance the sound

The **Original sound** slider sets how much of the clip's own audio plays
under your voice. Slide it to zero and only your recording is heard. The
preview updates as you drag, so trust your ears.

### 3. Choose the captions

Under **Captions**, pick whose words appear on the clip:

- **My words** burns in what you said, transcribed automatically.
- **Video's words** keeps the original speaker's captions.
- **Off** hides captions on this clip.

Right after recording you may see "Writing your captions" for a few seconds
while your words are prepared.

### 4. Style the camera bubble

Camera reactions can be a **Circle** or **Square** bubble, or a strip across
the top or bottom of the clip. Corner and size presets sit below the style
choices. Voice-only recordings skip this section since there is nothing to
place.

### 5. Or just drag it

Grab the bubble right on the preview and drop it anywhere. It snaps to the
center lines to help you line things up. Picking a corner preset afterwards
moves it back to a corner.

## Good to know

- Every change here shows up in the preview immediately and in the final
  render exactly the same.
- The trash button on the reaction card removes the reaction entirely. The
  clip goes back to how it was, and you can record a fresh reaction any time.
- Each aspect ratio remembers its own bubble position, so your 9:16 layout
  will not disturb a 1:1 version of the same clip.
