Every caption style reads a transcript with --words (Whisper JSON or [{w, s, e}]): each word comes in when it is said, phrases break where a reader would, and a sentence's last word stays with its line. Styles with colours of their own take --prop palette=brand to wear the brand's accents instead.

Camera-follow captions

captions/camera-follow · Overlay with alpha

Each sentence written across a canvas far bigger than the frame while a camera follows the words as they are said: every word a step bigger than the last with the camera pulling back to keep it the same size (or the camera gliding along lines of text), motion blur on every move, and a pull-back at the sentence's end to show it whole. Give a transcript with --words; *starred* words and the ones in `accents` take the accent.

Karaoke captions

captions/karaoke · Overlay with alpha

Social captions on the voice: a line or two at a time, the word being said lit by a pill that slides from word to word (or in the accent colour, or underlined), the rest of the line waiting dimmed. Give a transcript with --words; *starred* words and the ones in `accents` take the accent.

Pop captions

captions/pop · Overlay with alpha

Big captions a few words at a time, each word landing on its own time with a pop — the newest one in the accent. Give a transcript with --words; *starred* words and the ones in `accents` take the second accent.

Subtitles

captions/subtitles · Overlay with alpha

Clean subtitles timed to the voice: up to two lines at a time in the brand's text face, broken at pauses and sentence ends, on a dark box behind each line or with a shadow. Give a transcript with --words.

Marker captions

captions/marker · Overlay with alpha

A highlighter swipes under each word as it is said and stays lit, a little crooked like a real pen, so the line fills with the brand's colour as it is spoken (or an underline stroke). Give a transcript with --words; *starred* words take the second accent.

Neon captions

captions/neon-tubes · Overlay with alpha

The line hangs as unlit glass tubes and each word flickers on as it is said, glowing in the accent (accent words in the second accent) and drifting a hair once lit. Give a transcript with --words.

Decode captions

captions/scramble · Overlay with alpha

Each word arrives as scrambled characters that settle into the word letter by letter as it is said, in the mono face (or the display face). Give a transcript with --words.

Slam captions

captions/slam · Overlay with alpha

One word at a time (or two), as big as the frame allows, slammed in from alternating sides with motion blur and a punch, accent words bigger still. Give a transcript with --words.

Typewriter captions

captions/typed · Overlay with alpha

Typed as it is said: each word's letters land across its spoken time in the mono face (or the text face), with a caret that blinks while the voice rests, straight on the footage or on dark boxes. Give a transcript with --words.

Editorial captions

captions/editorial · Overlay with alpha

Magazine captions: the line in the brand's text face with its key word set far bigger in the accent face — the *starred* words, else the longest word of each phrase — every word rising in as it is said. Give a transcript with --words.

Stacked captions

captions/stacked · Overlay with alpha

Short lines stack up the frame: the newest at the bottom at full size, its words popping in as they are said, while the lines before it rise, shrink and fade. Give a transcript with --words.

Blur-in captions

captions/blur-in · Overlay with alpha

Calm captions: each word resolves from a soft blur and rises into place as it is said, in the brand's text face (or display face). Give a transcript with --words.

Gradient captions

captions/gradient-fill · Overlay with alpha

Bold words filled with a gradient of the brand's two accents, each landing on its time with an elastic bounce and a tilt. Give a transcript with --words; *starred* words get a lighter gradient.

Wipe captions

captions/wipe-on · Overlay with alpha

Each word wiped on from the left as it is said, an accent edge leading the reveal; the words still to come can wait dimmed. Give a transcript with --words.

Glitch captions

captions/rgb-split · Overlay with alpha

Each word lands as a broken signal — split into red and cyan, jittering, a slice torn sideways — then locks clean; accent words flare again now and then. Give a transcript with --words.

Burst captions

captions/burst · Overlay with alpha

Words pop in on their time and the key words go off with a burst of particles in the brand's colours — the *starred* or listed words, else the last word of each phrase. Give a transcript with --words.
