How captions land

Here is what you get on your timeline in each host. You can also make captions without a preset.

After Effects

Every preset builds native After Effects text layers.

Text Layer

Plain native text layers, fully editable. Split them per word, per line, or per caption, or keep everything on one layer.

Your Custom Composition

Use your own After Effects composition as the caption look, instead of picking from the library.

Premiere

Every preset rides on one MotionCaption MoGRT.

One MoGRT for all captions

Every caption rides on a single MoGRT clip, and each can still have its own style. One click bakes the track to PNG for instant playback.

Fast Captions

Captions placed as images on their own track, so Premiere plays them back without rendering. Word highlights included.

Preset settings

Make any preset your own

Every preset opens its own settings. Adjust the look, and save your version.

Want more than one look from the same preset? Duplicate it as many times as you like. Each copy keeps its own settings, so you can grow the library into unlimited presets of your own.

Style Generator

Unlimited caption looks to browse

Choose what varies and which color moods to draw from, then click a style to apply or save it.

Style Generator

A full grid of caption styles to browse and save

Open the Style Generator in the preset settings panel and get a set of distinct caption styles to browse. Choose what varies (colors, font, highlight, shadows, stroke, boxes) and any mix of color moods (vibrant, pastel, dark, neon, warm, cool, mono). Leave every mood off and each roll picks its own.

Split Presets

A different style for each speaker, in one pass

Open the Split Presets tray and select captions: by speaker (S1 / S2), select all, drag to paint across rows, or jump to a caption number. Click a preset to apply it to just those captions, and click an assigned badge to remove it. A counter shows how many captions have a preset and how many still need one. When you are ready, generate the whole video at once, each caption with its own look.

Caption output

In After Effects, captions are native text layers

Choose one layer per caption, one per line, one per word, or a single layer for all captions for different styles.

After Effects output

One layer per caption block. The usual starting point, and most presets work with it.

Styles, motion, and effects are separate libraries, not three ways to pick the same thing. Swap the style and the animation stays. Add an animation and the style stays. One look is built from all three, which is why a handful of libraries makes far more than a handful of looks.

Styles

Restyle every caption at once

150+ text and layer styles in After Effects, 29 in Premiere. Try one, try ten, the whole timeline follows.

Match your brand colors in one click

Load a brand palette once and apply it to any caption. Alternate colors across the whole video when you want word-by-word pop. Save the palette and it travels to the next job.

Animation in a click

90+ animations in After Effects, a smaller set in Premiere. Apply one in a click, swap it anytime.

MotionCaption · Motion

Timed for you

Fade, pop, slide, zoom, bounce. Each one arrives already timed to your captions.

Duration20fr

Faster or slower, your call

Drag one slider to make an animation snappier or slower before you apply it.

TypewriterWiggle

Build your own motion

Make custom motion with the typewriter or wiggle builders, then save it. Use it in any preset's settings, or apply it to captions already on your timeline.

In Premiere the animation library applies to your caption clips, and Motion > Custom writes keyframes onto any clip you select, including your own titles. Wiggle and scroll build in both apps. The typewriter builder is After Effects.

Effects

Effects, transitions, and filters

50+ effects, 25+ transitions, and 50+ color filters in After Effects. Glow, shadow, 3D, warps, boxes. Stack them on a caption, add a transition, drop a filter on top.

MotionCaption · Effects

Glow, shadow, 3D, and more

Add one effect or stack five. They apply on top of your captions, and the last one comes off just as fast.

CaptionsB-Rolls

Transitions and filters

Captions enter and leave with a transition. In After Effects, add them to your B-roll too, then drop a filter on top.

Select FFX fileBrowse

Your own presets

Bring in your own After Effects presets as .ffx files. Each one gets a rendered preview and applies in one click.

In Premiere, effects and transitions apply to your caption clips straight from the panel, and the Filters tab grades the clips you select or the whole timeline. After Effects adds B-roll transitions, optional motion blur, your own saved effect presets, and a toggle to apply to any layer you select.
