Frequently asked questions

Will a gradient caption stay readable?

Yes, as long as there is contrast with the background. If the video is colorful, Gradient Keyword is the safer pick: white text, with the gradient only on the word that matters.

Is the gradient animated?

In some styles. Rainbow Shift keeps changing hue, Shine sweeps a band of light across the text as the phrase enters, and Holo has a passing sheen. Gradient Sunset and Chrome are static fills with a pop entrance.
