Captions & Subtitles
Word-by-word subtitle styles that keep viewers watching on mute.
5 captions & subtitles
A solid color block slides behind the active word. Bold, readable captions that survive any busy footage.
Captions type themselves out with a blinking cursor, perfect for tutorials, storytimes and tech explainers.
Words drop in one by one with a springy bounce and a slight tilt. Playful captions for vlogs and comedy edits.
The whole line rides a gentle wave while the spoken word glows through a color gradient. Musical and smooth.
Why do short videos need animated captions?
Most social video is watched without sound, so captions carry the message. Word-by-word styles also hold attention by giving the eye something to follow, which lifts retention on Shorts, Reels and TikTok compared with a static subtitle block.
Captions are the highest-leverage motion graphic in short form. These presets pop each word, highlight a box, type a line and bounce phrases, in your font and your accent color.
