How do I keep the same caption look on every video, or a different look for each client?

What should a caption look include?

Write down, or save, every setting that makes the captions recognizably yours:

• Caption style: the animation and how words appear.
• Font, size and capitalization.
• Text color and highlight color, often the brand's accent.
• Position on screen.
• Frame shape: 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or the original.
• Branding around the captions: a logo, a progress bar, an opening title or cover.

If any of these change from video to video, the account stops looking consistent.

How do I manage different looks for several clients?

1. One saved look per client. Name it after the client and the format, such as "Acme – Reels".
2. Start every video by applying that client's look, before you check the text.
3. Keep the text check separate. Each video's words, names and cuts are still unique, so review them every time.
4. Change the saved look, not single videos, when a client updates their branding.

How do I do it in a timeline editor?

Save the caption text style and animation as a preset or template, keep a project template with the frame size and logo, and duplicate it for each new video. It works, but presets in timeline editors usually cover the text style only, so the frame and branding have to be rebuilt or copied by hand.

How to do it in CaptionBolt

CaptionBolt's video presets save the whole finished look in one place, so every video for a brand or client gets the same captions and branding with one click.

• What a preset saves: the caption style, the canvas and Resize settings, the Headline and Cover appearance, the chosen logo and the progress bar.
• What it doesn't copy: each video's captions, media and cuts, which stay specific to that video.
• How to use it: set up a video the way you want it, save it as a preset, then apply the preset to the next upload. Make one preset per client.
• Plans: video presets are available on every plan, and all 338 caption styles are included.

Max subscribers can also create projects with a saved preset from their own workflows through the API or an AI agent through MCP.

When another approach is better

If each client needs complex, multi-track edits rather than consistent captions and branding, a timeline editor with project templates is the better fit. CaptionBolt finishes one recording at a time.
