Caption Styles for Videos

How to add styled captions to your Arcads videos — choose a style, adjust position and text size, and edit after generation.

Written by Nilo

Arcads now lets you apply caption styles directly to your videos — the same 6 styles available in the Text Overlay tool, applied automatically to the whole video with one click.

Available styles

Choose from 6 caption styles when generating:

  • Insta – None

  • Insta – Dark

  • Insta – Light

  • TikTok – None

  • TikTok – Dark

  • TikTok – Light

Each style uses the corresponding Instagram or TikTok font, with an optional background for readability.

How to add captions

  1. Open the composer, a workflow, the agent (Mark), or MCP.

  2. Select Add Captions.

  3. Choose your video and pick a caption style.


  4. Adjust the position (Top, Center, or Bottom) and text size in the Captions Settings panel.

  5. Click Generate. The first generation costs 8 credits; post-editing of it is free.

Editing captions after generation


Post-editing is free. Once your video is generated, click Edit captions in the Actions panel to:

  • Fix or reword individual caption lines

  • Move text to a different position

  • Resize the text

The preview updates in real time. Regenerating keeps the same timings, so nothing is re-transcribed.

Things to know

  • Captions are static (not animated) and currently limited to the 6 Text Overlay styles listed above.

  • Post-editing does not consume additional credits.

  • Available in: composer, workflows, agent, and MCP.
