Caption templates
Reusable captions for publishing — write a caption once, reuse it with variables filled in automatically. See the reference table below for what’s available.
Available variables
| Variable | Example | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
{{video_title}} | Opening Night — Act II | The recording's title |
{{organization}} | Motherwound Theatre Co. | Your organization's name |
{{duration}} | 0:45 | This clip's length |
{{date}} | 9/2/2026 | Today's date, when you publish |
{{recorded_date}} | 8/8/2026 | When the video was actually recorded, if the file has that metadata |
{{venue}} | Zach Theatre | Business/venue name at the recording location, when OpenStreetMap has one mapped there |
{{city}} | Austin, Texas | City where it was recorded, from the same location data |
Not every video has every field (e.g. a screen recording won’t have location data) — a variable with nothing to fill just gets dropped from the caption. {{venue}}/{{city}} come from your recording’s location data, reverse-geocoded via OpenStreetMap — © OpenStreetMap contributors.
