Captions and on-screen labels

Caption styles

Open Captions, voice & character. Turn captions on or off, then pick a style:

• Karaoke: the word being spoken lights up. The classic Shorts look.
• Pop: bold words that pop in, colored for vertical video.
• Clean: plain white text with a soft shadow.
• Boxed: text on a dark box, the most readable on busy pictures.

Where captions go

Smart (recommended) places captions in each scene’s calmest area, away from faces and labels, and keeps them steady between scenes. You can also force Top, Middle or Bottom.

Set the size (S, M, L) and how many words show at once. Auto shows about four words on vertical video.

Labels

Labels are hand-lettered words at the top of a scene: dates, names and key terms. The script writer adds a few automatically; add or edit them on any scene with Add label. One to three words reads best.
