6 caption styles

Pick a look. Every word lands.

The same frame of a real example, captioned by the engine in each style. What you see here is what the MP4 gets.

  • Bold pop

    Heavy capitals, the spoken word pops in colour. The social video standard.

  • Clean

    Sentence case on a soft dark pill. For lessons and corporate videos.

  • Marker

    Hand-lettered; the pen swipes a highlighter under each spoken word.

  • Karaoke

    The whole line shows and fills with colour as it is spoken.

  • Minimal

    A small lower third with no background.

  • Boxed

    Each word slides in on its own block.

Scene by scene

One topic in, every scene drawn.

“The sugar in your snack”, a real short made with StrokeTale: each scene is drawn by hand, coloured, and timed to its line of narration.

  1. Is your “healthy” snack hiding sugar?“That healthy-looking snack? Read the label before you trust the box.”
  2. Swap it, don’t skip it“Swap sugar, salt and butter for beans, grains and lean protein.”
