Choose fonts, colors, and subtitle position

Style captions in the export dialog

1. 1

   Choose a supported font

   Open Download with subtitle and select Font Type. The list depends on the caption language; options may include Arial, Arabic Kufi, Arabic Naskh, El Messiri, Janna LT, and Noto Sans Arabic. Choose a font that displays every character correctly and check the preview.

2. 2

   Set size and contrast

   Adjust Font Size and Font Color. A contrasting background can make text easier to read over changing scenes. Use No Background only if the words remain clear.

3. 3

   Place the captions

   Use Subtitle Position to move text between the bottom and top. Keep captions away from faces, existing titles, and social-app controls.

4. 4

   Add animation if useful

   Choose Subtitle Animation. Preview the effect: readability matters more than movement. Speaker colors or word effects may appear with compatible options.

5. 5

   Check and export

   Preview several frames, including the longest line and a bright background. Render the video and inspect the downloaded result.

Design for a phone screen

Use a readable size and avoid very long lines. A font that looks fine in a large desktop preview can be too small on a phone. Leave space around the edges, especially for vertical video.

Arabic and right-to-left captions

Check letter shaping, punctuation, numbers, and mixed Arabic/English text. Review the rendered file as well as the preview. If characters appear missing or disconnected, try a different available font and export again.

VTT and burned-in styling

A separate subtitle file is displayed by the receiving player, which may use its own font and appearance. Export burned-in captions when the visual styling must look consistent for everyone.
