How do I change the caption style on my clips?

Pick a caption style on the Captions tab when you start a project, change it for one clip in the editor's Captions panel, or save it in a template to use on every project. A style sets the font, the colours and how the spoken word stands out; your words and their timing stay the same when you switch.

Which caption styles are there?

In the order the app shows them, with the description you see when you hover a style:

Style	Description
Minimal	Plain white subtitles, no highlight
Blur Slam	Podcast clips that hook
Karaoke Fill	Podcasts & viral clips
One Word	Hooks & fast pacing
Stack Punch	Punchlines & motivation
Highlighter	Education, tips & study
Classic Red	Familiar active-word box
Sticker Tilt	Beauty, fashion & trends
Reveal	Storytelling & retention
Candy Pill	Lifestyle, beauty & creators
Neon	Games, tech & late night
Paper Card	Tutorials & key points

Minimal is the default.

How do I choose a style before Auk makes the clips?

1. Paste a video link or upload a file.
2. In the window that opens, open the Captions tab.
3. Click a style. Use the arrows next to the page count to see the rest.
4. Click Make clips.

Every clip in the project starts with that style. A template picked on the Template tab selects its own caption style; picking a different style afterwards changes only the captions.

How do I change the style of one clip?

1. Open the clip in the editor.
2. Click Captions in the tool column on the right edge.
3. On the Presets tab, click a style.

The change applies to that clip only, and keeps the clip's caption size, position and words per group.

Can I adjust a style after picking it?

Yes, on the Font tab of the editor's Captions panel:

• Font: the typeface.
• Text case: Aa as written in the transcript, AA all capitals, aa all small letters. The transcript keeps its own spelling.
• Position: how high or low the captions sit: Top, Upper, Middle, Lower or Bottom, or Auto, which places them by the layout, for example on the line between the two people of a Split.
• Size: the text size.
• Words per group: how many words show at once.
• Colors: Text, Active (the word being spoken), Word box and Caption box.

How do I use the same style on every project?

1. Go to Templates. Open the menu at the top, which shows the current template's name, and pick a template, or choose New template.
2. Under Look, open Captions, turn on the switch next to its name, and pick a style.
3. Click Create for a new template, or Save.
4. When you make clips, pick that template on the Template tab.

Editing or deleting a template does not change clips you have already made.

Does changing the style change my exported video?

Only after you export again: see Exporting a clip.
