Captions template

Highlighter text animation

Highlighter text is a ready-made captions animation. Change the content, pick the style and motion, then export a video for TikTok, Reels, Shorts or YouTube.

Put it on a gradient, a color, your own image or a transparent background. The example reads “Consistency beats [talent] when talent doesn’t [show up].”; replace it with your own.

Best for quotes, tips and key takeaways, with chosen words marked as if by a highlighter.
