When the transcribing is complete,  the captions panel will display each section of dialogue in it's new format and a new track will be added on the timeline

If you need to adjust the timing of when, or how long, the text is displayed on the screen you can adjust individual text blocks in the subtitle track on the timeline. 

Now the you have the subtitle track ready there are two ways to deliver captions
