One word captions: one big word at a time

Each word gets the screen to itself, in white capitals with a heavy black outline, bigger than any other style (250 against Pop's 200). It pops in a quarter bigger and settles to full size in under a tenth of a second, then gives way to the next word as it's said. A word too wide for the frame is shrunk to fit.

In scripts without spaces, like Japanese and Chinese, a caption holds up to 3 characters instead of one word.

• Hype and high-energy clips: reactions, gaming, sports talk.
• Short, slow, punchy lines, where every word lands on its own.
• Languages with long words, like German, where three words to a caption don't fit.

With very fast talkers, a word may be on screen for only a fraction of a second, and the clip can feel like it flickers. For those, Pop or Karaoke, which show a few words at a time, are easier to follow. Switch styles on any clip in the editor and see before you download.

On Pro and Studio, save up to 10 caption styles of your own: start from any of the 5, then choose the font (Poppins, Montserrat, Anton, Bebas Neue, Archivo Black or Bangers), the colors, the size and how high the captions sit. They show beside the built-in styles when you start a video or edit a clip.

Your styles carry your font into every language with letters it has; for other scripts, the captions fall back to the matching Noto Sans font, so nothing turns into empty boxes.

Compare all 5 on the preview above, or read about each. Every style works in every language: see captions in every language.
