Caption styling helps your clips feel on-brand across TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn. Choppity separates look (font and color) from placement so you can match your channel style inside one Content OS workflow.

Font, color, and size

Select the captions object, then open the Font panel. Choose a Family from the font picker modal, then set weight, size, transform (such as uppercase), and style (italic). Use the Color picker for the main caption text.

Shadow and readability

Open the Shadow panel to add contrast against busy backgrounds. Adjust shadow type, offset, color, and rounding until captions stay readable on both light and dark footage.

Position on screen

Open the Position panel. Use the Horizontal and Vertical sliders to move captions up, down, or off-center. Toggle Static on to keep one fixed position for the whole clip.

Preview as you go

Every change updates the preview player immediately. Scrub through key moments and switch aspect ratios to confirm captions never cover faces or important on-screen text before you download or schedule.
