Today there are 10, from Hormozi and Brut to Full Sentence. ![Four vertical clips, each with a different caption style: gameplay, a talking head, a podcast and a street interview.](https://blitzreels.com/images/changelog/more-personality-in-every-caption.jpg) ## A caption style is a whole recipe The feel of your captions comes from many small choices: how many words show at once, how they appear, which word stands out, where the line sits on the frame. Setting all of that by hand on each clip takes time, and keeping it consistent across a batch takes even longer. A caption look saves the whole recipe. Pick one and the font, size, colors, outline or background, words per line, reveal and highlight all change together. ## What changed in June On June 10, 2026, we shipped a new set of caption looks in the editor. Each one carries its full set of settings, and switching looks keeps the word timing from your transcript. The library has kept changing since. We reworked it in July and again in September, so the list you see today is different from June’s. Captions you already styled keep their settings when a look leaves the library. ## The looks you can pick today Today the library has 10 looks. Some are named after the creators or media whose caption style inspired them. - Ali Abdaal: grey words on a light rounded card, each one turning dark as it’s spoken. It’s the starting look unless your workspace picked another default. - Hormozi: white italic words with a dark outline and a hard shadow, with key words in yellow. - Steven Bartlett: short white phrases on a single line that pop in, with key words in gold. - Brut: bold white subtitles in steady two-line phrases near the bottom of the frame. - Rey Shorts: uppercase white words that fade in with a slight tremble, with key words in italic cyan. - Footlight: comic-book lettering with a thick dark outline and bright green accents. - Rafallan: stacked uppercase lines where the spoken word jumps to green and grows. - Noir Kinetic: one uppercase word at a time, white on a black box. - Full Sentence: the whole sentence stays up while a yellow highlight tracks the spoken word. - Clean Minimal Pro: light, widely spaced text that fades in word by word. Key words are the few words BlitzReels marks when it transcribes your video. You can change the style of any word yourself. ## How to pick and adjust a look Here’s how to apply a look and make it yours: 1. In the editor, select your captions or open Captions in the sidebar. 2. Keep the scope on All captions and browse Looks. Each card plays its animation when you point at it. 3. Click a look. Your captions keep their position, and styles you set on single words are cleared. 4. Use Customize to change the size, position, active word color and motion. Reset to Hormozi, or whichever look you picked, brings back the original. 5. For deeper changes, Advanced style, Effects and Animations hold the font, outline, background and reveal settings. When you create clips from a long video, you pick the caption style before the clips are made, so the whole batch starts with the same look. If you’re a workspace owner or admin, you can set a default caption style in workspace settings, and every new project and clip starts with it. ## Access and related tools Every caption look is available in the editor, whatever your plan. The BlitzReels API lists the same 10 looks and can apply one to a project, so a script or an AI agent can style your captions from code. The [Captions API documentation](https://blitzreels.com/docs/captions) explains how. To see each look on real footage, visit the [caption styles page](https://blitzreels.com/features/caption-styles). Captions come from the [AI caption generator](https://blitzreels.com/ai-caption-generator), and [AI clipping](https://blitzreels.com/clipping) applies your look to every short it cuts from a long recording. ## Questions ### Which caption styles does BlitzReels have? Today there are 10 caption looks: Ali Abdaal, Hormozi, Steven Bartlett, Brut, Rey Shorts, Footlight, Rafallan, Noir Kinetic, Full Sentence and Clean Minimal Pro. Each one sets the font, colors, motion and word highlighting in one click. ### Can I change the caption style after my clips are made? Yes. Select the captions in the editor and pick another look. The word timing and your caption position stay, and styles set on individual words are reset. ### Can I use the same caption style on all my videos? Yes. A workspace owner or admin can set a default caption style in workspace settings, and every new project and clip starts with it. ### Can I tweak a caption look instead of using it as is? Yes. After picking a look, use Customize for size, position, active word color and motion, or Advanced style, Effects and Animations for finer changes. A reset button brings back the original look. ### Can I apply a caption look through the API? Yes. The BlitzReels API lists the same caption looks as the editor and can apply one to a project, using an API key from your workspace. ## Find a caption look for your channel See all 10 caption looks on real clips, then pick one for your next batch.
