Font Colors
The font color palette will display three default color options: Black, White, and Yellow. It will also include a hex value input field for users who want a specific color.
Position
The position of the text on your burned-in video can be adjusted to align to the top, middle, and bottom of your video. You'll also be able to justify the text to the left, center, or right of the video. Please note, the positional options will apply to all your captions and individual caption placement is not yet an option for our burned-in captions.
This short clip shows the various positional options:
