All 5 variants, side by side
Each frame below is the preset’s real style block rendered as CSS — the same font, color, outline, card and animation Versely applies to your video. Nothing here is a screenshot.
What changes across the 5
Read straight off the preset definitions: the fields below that are fixed are what makes these one family, and the fields that vary are the whole of the choice between them. A variant page shows you one preset; this is the shape of the set.

Which variant holds up hardest
WCAG contrast ratio between each variant’s text and the thing it puts directly behind it — outline. This measures the preset against its own backing, not against your footage: it tells you which of the 5 gives the text the most separation to work with, not whether it will survive a particular shot.
| Variant | Text on | Contrast |
|---|---|---|
| Halo | Outline | 21.0:1 |
| Halo Flipped | Outline | 21.0:1 |
| Halo Top | Outline | 21.0:1 |
| Halo Yellow | Outline | 17.0:1 |
| Halo Navy | Outline | 16.2:1 |

Frequently asked questions
What are the Halo caption styles?+
Halo is one of Versely's 9 caption style families, with 5 variants: Halo, Halo Flipped, Halo Yellow, Halo Navy, Halo Top. Halo is the default. All 5 Halo variants share the same font and outline weight; text color (3), outline color (3) and position in frame (2) are what change.
What is the difference between the Halo caption variants?+
Text color varies across 3 values (Black, White, #0B1F44); Outline color varies across 3 values (White, Black, #FFE94A); Position in frame varies across 2 values (Bottom of frame, Top of frame). Everything else — font Poppins Bold, outline weight 1px — is identical on all 5.
Which Halo caption style is the most readable?+
By WCAG contrast between the text and the outline directly behind it, Halo scores highest at 21:1 and Halo Navy lowest at 16.2:1. That is a measure of the preset against its own backing, not against your footage — on top of real video, a heavy ring around the text keeps it readable on the busiest, brightest, most chaotic footage — outdoor shoots, crowds, fast cuts.
Where on the video do Halo captions sit?+
bottom of frame on Halo and Halo Flipped and Halo Yellow and Halo Navy; top of frame on Halo Top. Position is one of the things this family gives you a variant for.
Are Halo captions animated word by word?+
No — Halo is a subtitle-style family: the full line appears and updates together, timed to your voiceover. Versely's word-timed families are Snap and Reveal.
How do I use Halo captions in Versely?+
Open your video in Versely's Caption Studio, generate auto-timed captions from the audio, then choose the Halo style group and one of its 5 variants. It works for gym content, street interviews, outdoor and action footage, sized for TikTok, Instagram Reels.
