A little inspiration to start.

Classic · Translucent black
A little reminder
A quiet caption that works over a busy video. Start with the classic semi-transparent black background.
Typewriter · Coral
Here comes the plot twist
Give a reveal a little character with a typewriter font and a bright, connected background.
Paper · Left aligned
Make the useful bit stand out
A clean white highlight for a quick tip, list or how-to. Change the words, then drop it over your footage.
Outline · No background
One more take
A bold outline keeps your caption readable while letting more of the video show through.
Handwritten · Soft shadow
Keep it personal
A handwritten note for an everyday moment. Keep the soft shadow or switch it off.
Serif · Forest green
The little things
A softer, editorial caption for a daily ritual, travel diary or something worth noticing.
