Captions template
Caption bar animation
Caption bar is a ready-made captions animation. Change the content, pick the style and motion, then export a video for TikTok, Reels, Shorts or YouTube.
It starts on a transparent background, so you can export a MOV or WebM and lay it over your own footage. The example reads “this changed everything for me”; replace it with your own.
Best for talking-head videos. Each word lights up karaoke-style as it is spoken.
