All caption styles

Default captions: centered, with the spoken word in yellow

This is the style most videos start with. Short lines sit in the middle of the vertical frame, white with a black outline, and the word being spoken turns yellow as the voice reaches it. Your eye stays in one place, so the caption reads as part of the narration instead of a block of text to scan.

Best for

Story narration, explainers and lists, where viewers watch the middle of the screen and the pace is steady.

Tips

  • Keep sentences short: the style shows a few words at a time, so long clauses make the highlight race.
  • Pair it with a plain or darker background so the white text and black outline stay easy to read.
  • If the background is busy in the centre, try the Top style instead.
