Hello,
which methods are available to create image captions?
Are there any to create them within the panel or does it have to be done on the computer?

TWO methods:
- X3 will use the IPTC title/caption stored in your image if any. This is often set from applications like iPhoto or Lightroom, and is stored directly in the image. This is the most "portable" option.
- You can input titles and descriptions directly from the panel gallery section of your pages.
In addition to having titles and/or descriptions available, you would also need to set your specific page gallery layout to display the titles in some fashion.

Thank you,
Can I assume the Panel way overrides the IPTC way?

Correct. If you have set your gallery to display titles, X3 will create titles based on the following priorities:
- Title assigned from panel (stored in page.json).
- Title extracted directly from the image (IPTC).
- Title created from file name. For example, "nice_garden.jpg" becomes "Nice garden".
