Minimal caption styles Readable, quiet and out of the way.

Minimal styles keep captions readable without pulling focus from the person on screen. Clean is a sans serif with a soft shadow and nothing else. Lowercase drops the caps for a lighter feel, Thin Line grows a fine line under the spoken word, and Brand Minimal colors only the spoken word, so you can drop in your brand color.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose a minimal caption style?

When the moment matters more than the text: an emotional testimonial, a sermon, a wedding speech. Heavy uppercase captions can feel like shouting there, and a clean style lets the voice carry the weight.

Can I add my brand font to a minimal style?

On Studio and Agency you can upload your own font as TTF or OTF and use it in any style. On Pro you choose from the 54 built-in fonts.
