Alignment
Mapping spoken words to positions so tracks can resolve against the script. This is what lets captions, b-roll and effects follow a re-recorded line.

Why it matters
Alignment is the technical reason script anchoring works at all; it is also why a new take does not require manual retiming.
Where it shows up in Hypit
Performed per take, producing word-level positions consumed by selections and moments.

FAQ
Is alignment specific to Hypit?
The idea is general to video workflows; the way it is expressed here follows how Hypit models projects, so the term maps to something you can actually edit.
Where can I see it in practice?
The quickstart walks through a full clone, and the clone-format pages show the same concept used in a real structure.
Do I need the paid API for this?
No. The agent tooling is free and open source; the managed API is optional.
