Highlighter captions
Highlighter is the ClipsMagic default. Captions are heavy white capitals, about three words at a time, and the word being spoken sits on a yellow highlight, like a marker on a printed transcript. A viewer with the sound off can follow every word, and the eye always knows where the speaker is.
Every short ClipsMagic cuts can use Highlighter or any of the other three styles.
What does Highlighter look like?
- Heavy capitals in white, with a soft shadow so they read over light footage.
- The word being spoken is ink on a yellow highlight.
- Lines break at three words or at the end of a sentence.
- Sits at the bottom, the middle or the top of the frame.
When should I use Highlighter?
Podcasts, explainers and lessons: talk where a viewer follows an argument word by word, often with the sound off. The highlight keeps the eye on the word, so a fast speaker stays readable.
When is another style better?
Quiet, slow talk, where marking every word feels loud. Quiet suits that better. Over yellow or very bright footage the highlight loses contrast; use Boxed there.
