CAPTION STYLES

Choose the emphasis that suits the message.

Animated styles draw attention to the active word. A classic treatment keeps the full line steady.

KARAOKE

Make every word count.

Karaoke

A highlight follows each spoken word through the caption.

POP

Make every word count.

The active word changes text styling as the line is spoken.

CLASSIC

Make every word count.

A steady caption style without word-by-word animation.

CAPTION QUALITY

Words and readability matter.

Animated emphasis works best when the transcript matches the recording and the text stays clear over the footage.

Accurate transcript

Names, specialist terms, punctuation, and timing all affect how the captions follow speech. You can edit generated text in the Subtitles panel.

Readable on video

Size, contrast, outline, shadow, and background help text stand out. Keep captions clear of faces and important details, especially in a tight crop.

For a standard transcript, see automatic subtitles or adding subtitles. To find short excerpts, see social video clips.
