Style Editor

Customize subtitle appearance — font, color, outline, position — before burning subtitles into your video.

Overview

The Style Editor is a dedicated subtitle styling interface that opens automatically when you choose to export burned-in subtitles. It lets you customize how subtitles look before they are permanently rendered into the video frames.

When Does It Appear

The Style Editor opens when you click "Export Burned-in Subtitles" from the export panel. You configure the visual style first, then start the export.

Interface Layout

The Style Editor is divided into two areas:

Left — Settings panel: All subtitle style controls (font, color, outline, position, etc.)
Right — Video preview: A live preview frame showing how subtitles will look with the current settings

Font Settings

Choose a font from the system font list. Adjust the font size using a slider ranging from 12px to 160px. The preview updates in real time as you adjust.

Text Color

Use the color picker to set the subtitle text color. Click the color swatch to open the picker, then choose any color.

Outline (Stroke)

Add an outline around subtitle text to improve readability against busy backgrounds:

Outline Width: Adjustable from 0px (no outline) to 20px
Outline Color: Choose via color picker (typically black or dark gray for contrast)

Bold

Toggle bold on or off. Bold text can improve readability at smaller sizes.

Subtitle Position

Drag the position slider to adjust where subtitles appear vertically on the video frame. Move subtitles higher or lower to avoid covering important visual content.

Frosted Subtitle Bar

Enable the frosted subtitle bar to add a semi-transparent backdrop behind the subtitles. This combines a blur effect with a dark overlay, significantly improving readability on bright or busy backgrounds.

Tip The frosted bar works especially well for videos with light-colored or visually complex backgrounds where even outlined text can be hard to read.

Subtitle Language

Choose which subtitle language to burn into the video:

Source Language: Burn in only the original language subtitles
Target Language: Burn in only the translated subtitles
Bilingual: Burn in both languages stacked

Live Preview

The preview area on the right updates in real time whenever you change any style parameter. This lets you fine-tune the look before committing to export.

Style Presets

Your style settings are automatically saved. The next time you open the Style Editor, it loads your most recent settings. This is convenient when batch-exporting videos that should share the same subtitle style.

Start Export

Once you are satisfied with the subtitle appearance, click the "Start Export" button to begin burning subtitles into the video with the configured style.
