Classic caption style

Classic caption style preview

Classic is the default Crayo caption: white SF Pro Display Bold in sentence case, carried by a layered black shadow instead of a stroke, with each line fading in. It suits talking-head podcast clips and interviews where the captions should read cleanly without pulling attention from the speaker.

Classic is the style every Crayo project starts with. The lettering is SF Pro Display Bold in white with tight letter spacing, and five stacked black blur shadows give it enough contrast to sit on bright footage or a face without a hard outline. Nothing is uppercase, so long sentences still look like sentences.

The only motion is a fade over the first 40 percent of each line's time on screen, and the spoken word is not recoloured. That restraint is the point: use it on podcast cuts, founder interviews and educational clips where the words matter more than the effect.

If you want the same look with more punch, the Glow Line and Clean Word styles share the font and shadow but add a glow or switch to one word at a time.

FAQs

Frequent questions

Yes. Pick Classic, then open Customise in the editor to change the text colour, the highlight colour, the font and where the captions sit. The change applies to the whole transcript at once, so you keep the same motion and layout with your own palette.

Yes. The style is language neutral: the font, colours and animation apply to whatever language Crayo transcribes. Spanish uses Latin letters, which SF Pro Display Bold is built for. For scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew or Japanese, swap the font in Customise and keep the rest of the look.

Auto Clip clips open in the Crayo editor, and the Styles panel lists Classic with line grouping, which is the default. Tap it once and it applies to every line of the transcript.

There is no separate charge for caption styles. Every Crayo plan, Hobby, Clipper and Pro, includes Classic and every other style in this gallery, plus the editor to customise them. Crayo itself is a paid subscription.
