Submagic's whole pitch is that caption design is not an afterthought — it's the difference between a clip someone scrolls past and one they watch to the end. That premise is right, and it's why Versely ships a caption-preset system of its own rather than one generic burned-in look: 45 presets across 9 style families, each one a real, previewably distinct visual treatment rather than a font-color toggle.
Everything below is that system, not a reskin of anyone else's.
Nine families, five variants each
The preset set is organized as 9 groups — classic, paper, ink, halo, hype, signature, headline, snap, reveal — with 5 variants inside each, 45 presets total. Hype, snap and signature lean toward the bold, high-motion end of that spread; classic and paper sit at the restrained end. The grouping is a real, curated structure in the data, not an alphabetical dump.
Previewed live, not screenshotted
Every preset in the group comparison view renders its actual style fields — font, color, outline, background, position — as real CSS on the page, not a static image standing in for it. What's shown is what the renderer will actually produce, which matters when the decision is between two closely related variants in the same family.
Where the look actually lands
Choosing a preset is styling; getting it onto a video is add_veed_captions, the same auto-transcription tool behind add-captions-to-video — speech in, timed captions out, 165 languages. The 45-preset system governs the look; the transcription engine governs the timing.
Pin a look to a brand, once
set_brand_kit takes a caption_style and stores it against the account; once saved it's auto-injected into later generations, so a channel doesn't re-pick its family and variant on every export. It's a partial upsert — this alone doesn't touch fonts or colors saved separately unless they're passed again.
How it works
1. Browse the 9 families
classic, paper, ink, halo, hype, signature, headline, snap, reveal — each rendered live with real sample text.
2. Compare variants inside a family
5 variants per group, side by side, so the choice is between real differences, not guesses from a name.
3. Apply it to a video
add_veed_captions transcribes the spoken audio and burns in the chosen look, timed automatically.
4. Save it as the default
set_brand_kit locks a style in so future videos don't need it re-specified.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from picking one generic caption style?+
It isn't one style — it's 9 distinct families (classic through snap and reveal) with 5 variants each, 45 presets total, each previewed live in real CSS rather than a screenshot standing in for it.
Does Versely have its own caption-style system separate from auto-captions?+
The 45-preset system governs the visual look; add_veed_captions is the engine that transcribes the audio and times the captions to it. They work together — style plus timing — not as competing tools.
Can I compare two similar presets before committing?+
Yes — the group view renders every variant in a family side by side with the same sample text, using each preset's real style fields rather than a static mockup.
Can a team standardize on one caption look across every video?+
Yes, via set_brand_kit — save a caption_style once and it's auto-injected into later generations, though a specific request can still override it for a one-off video.
