Caption style or template?

A caption style only covers the captions: font, colors, outline, how many words show at once and how each word animates. There are 235 of them, and you can use any on its own.

A template is the whole look of the clip. It combines a caption style with title and text overlays, backgrounds and a layout, such as split screen, a framed video card or a fake chat. Leaked Chat turns the clip into a messaging app, Top 5 adds a giant ranking number, and Before and After splits the frame with tags.

Frequently asked questions

What is a caption template?

A ready-made look for a whole clip: a caption style plus title and text overlays, backgrounds and a layout. It saves you from building the same design for every video.

What kinds of templates are there?

48 templates in 10 categories: social posts, chat, news and gossip, podcast, rankings and lists, comparison, story, gaming and live, minimal and seasonal.

Can I save my own template?

Yes. Once a clip looks the way you want, save the look of the clip as a template and apply it to the next ones.

Can I change the caption style inside a template?

Yes. The template is a starting point. You can switch to any of the 235 caption styles and edit colors, size and position.

Are these CapCut or Premiere Pro templates?

No. We don't export CapCut templates or Premiere Pro MOGRTs. The template is rendered into your clip, ready to post, and the captions can also be exported as SRT for your editor.

A finished clip, not just captions. 48 templates ready to go.
