Light Box caption style

Light Box caption style preview

Light Box sets each line of Poppins Medium inside a rounded light grey box, with upcoming words in grey that turn black as they are spoken. It suits interviews, corporate clips and educational content that should look like subtitles rather than effects.

Light Box is the quietest style in the gallery and the only one on a light plate. Poppins Medium in sentence case sits inside a light grey box with 4px rounded corners and 5px of padding, so it reads like a caption card from a broadcast interview.

The karaoke effect is subtle: words that have not been spoken yet are a mid grey, and each word turns black the moment it is said. There is no stroke, no shadow and no entrance animation.

It is the right pick for corporate interviews, founder stories, LinkedIn-style clips and any talking head where the brand wants a clean, professional subtitle. For a dark version of the same idea see Black Box.

FAQs

Frequent questions

Yes. Pick Light Box, 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. Portuguese uses Latin letters, which Poppins Medium 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 Light Box 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 Light Box and every other style in this gallery, plus the editor to customise them. Crayo itself is a paid subscription.
