Captions & styles

Everything text and design in a VidNext video is styleable — during creation via style packs, and afterwards per-element in the editor.

Captions

Captions are generated from the narration with per-word timing. Ten styles are available:

Karaoke (word-by-word color highlight) · Boxed (each word in a rounded pill) · Outline (bold text with a thick stroke) · Pop (words spring in with scale) · Glow (neon glow) · Wave (words slide up with stagger) · Bounce (words drop from the top) · Highlight (marker wipe behind the active word) · Stack (one word at a time, huge) · Textbox (professional subtitle box)

Beyond style, you control position (top, center, bottom), colors (text, highlight, box and box opacity), and font size. If you've edited narration, Resync regenerates caption timing to match the new audio.

Text overlays

Overlays carry names, dates, statistics, quotes, facts, locations, sources, comparisons, and callouts. Each has a design template, size, one of nine positions, an optional contrast background for readability, and full advanced styling (font, color, background, alignment). Style presets — Default, Bold Title, Subtitle, Accent, Warning — cover the common cases in one click.

Chapter headings, rankings, and infographics

• Chapter headings — six style variants (Impact, Cinematic, Neon Glow, Split, Minimal, Bold Stripe) with editable title, subtitle, and accent colors, previewed live.
• Ranking panels — badge styles (rank, statistic, emoji, label, year), rank colors (gold, silver, bronze, blue), position, and animation.
• Infographics — chart type (bar, horizontal bar, line, area, pie, donut), editable data points, colors, and an optional AI-generated background.

Each of these has a Regenerate action that re-creates the element from the video plan.

The design library

The design library collects every visual template: media scene designs (Polaroid, Documentary, Evidence, VS Comparison, Device Frame, Before/After, and many more), image motion (Ken Burns, zooms, pans, parallax), quote cards, stat cards, chart styles, and map templates. Multi-select is supported everywhere — picking several designs cycles through them across the video for variety.
