Classic caption styles The originals that always read.
The classic category holds the original styles, the ones that work on almost any video: plain white text with a black outline, karaoke captions where words turn yellow as they are spoken, and text over a dark box. Cinema uses a soft shadow with no outline, Neon glows in cyan, Serif sets a centered italic, and a typewriter style types each phrase in.
Specs of every style
Font, size, words per line, outline and entrance animation of every style in this category, read from the same style that burns the captions into your clip.

How to apply a style to your clip
Terms worth knowing
Frequently asked questions
What is the most readable caption style?
White text with a black outline, or white text on a dark box. Both are in this category, and both hold up over any background and at any size.
Are the classic styles animated?
Some are. The outlined white and the dark box styles are static, the karaoke and build-up styles move with each word, and others, like Pop and Glitch, animate every word in.
Pick a style. We handle the timing. Every word synced to the speech.
Upload a video or paste a YouTube link. We transcribe every word with its timing, you choose the look, and the clip comes out captioned.
