## Let the words set the pace

A short line can feel good one word at a time; a longer thought often needs more words on screen. We added simple text, single-word captions, and word-by-word reveals so you could choose the pace while editing your video.

We worked on these choices because the amount of text on screen changes how a spoken moment feels. A single word draws attention to that word, while keeping more of a sentence visible gives the viewer time to follow the thought; neither treatment suits every clip.

## Readable, with a little personality

These first caption styles made the way your words look part of the edit itself. They also gave us somewhere to build the themes and individual word controls that followed, with readability and your video’s own style in mind.

For your own videos, the useful part is having that choice before you settle on the final look. Try a moment with fewer words, then with more context, and judge it alongside the speaker’s delivery rather than choosing a caption style in isolation.
