Glow Line caption style

Glow Line caption style preview

Glow Line is white SF Pro Display Bold wrapped in a soft white glow and a thin black edge, with each line stretching in horizontally, drifting by a pixel while it is on screen and fading out at the end. It suits cinematic podcast clips and storytelling cuts that want a little life without loud motion.

Best for
Cinematic storytelling and podcast clips over b-roll

Glow Line uses the Classic font, SF Pro Display Bold in sentence case, but swaps the heavy shadow for two 1px black edges plus two white glows at 12px and 15px blur. On dark or moody footage the glow makes the captions feel lit rather than pasted on.

Each line scales in from 60 percent width while fading up over its first 10 percent on screen. While it sits on screen it drifts one pixel left and right over 40 frames and one pixel up and down over 15 frames, a slow wobble that keeps the text feeling alive, then fades out in the last tenth of its duration.

It works best on cinematic storytelling, podcast clips over b-roll and motivational cuts. For a glow on a single word, see Vintage Serif; Yellow Wave gives full lines a yellow glow instead.

FAQs

Frequent questions

Yes. Pick Glow Line, 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. German 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 Glow Line 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 Glow Line and every other style in this gallery, plus the editor to customise them. Crayo itself is a paid subscription.
