Caption styles

Animated caption styles

26 presets for word-by-word captions. Each preview below is rendered by captions.js itself, the same way your video will be.

Bouncebounce

The active word pops in with a slight overshoot and pushes its neighbours aside, so lines never overlap.

Box per wordbox-word

A highlight box jumps from word to word, following the speaker.

Poppop

Each word pops up as it is spoken, the punchy look of short-form edits.

No motionnone

Words switch color as they are spoken, with no movement. The calmest option, good for interviews and long talks.

Scalescale

The active word grows a little while it is spoken, then settles back.

Underlineunderline

An underline draws in under the active word as it is spoken.

Slide upslide-up

Lines rise into place from below, a soft cinematic entrance.

Boxbox

A colored box sits behind the current line, keeping the text readable over busy footage.

Slide leftslide-left

Lines slide in from the right, like a ticker.
