Guide · Caption styles

The four kinetic caption styles, and when each one earns its keep

The presets below ship with the editor — the preview cards are the exact artwork the properties panel shows, rendered per word as your video plays. This guide is about picking between them on purpose.

Choosing on purpose

Hormozi suits talking-head advice and offers — the yellow highlight punches through busy footage. MrBeast suits high-energy stunts and challenges where the stroke outline keeps words readable over motion. Karaoke suits music, storytelling and any case where the audience should follow along word-by-word. Clean suits calm, premium footage where caption chrome would cheapen the frame.

Style is a clip property, not a transcription decision: switch it any time without re-running Whisper, and restyle individual caption clips differently on the same timeline.

First-hand captures

Recorded from the production build of this site: a real browser session driving the real editor, with no cuts or retakes. Output files below were produced by the editor's own export engine.

Watch the caption style cards cycle in the properties panel — the same artwork shown above — while the canvas updates.

Supported formats

Style previews: PNG/JPG artwork bundled with the app, shown in the properties panel
Styling scope: per caption clip — different styles can coexist on T1
Export: caption text and word timing are burned into the exported frames; styling is simplified versus the live preview

Known limitations

Export styling is not pixel-identical to the live preview yet: bounce, scale punches and gradient wipes are approximated in the current browser renderer
Text stroke and background pill colors are preset-driven; full custom theming is on the roadmap
Style cards assume a dark frame — very bright footage may need the Clean style for contrast

Try them on your own footage in the editor — generate captions first (see the local captions guide) and switch styles live.
