Custom Styling
Design Subtitles That Match Your Brand
Generic white text on a black bar is no longer enough. CutSnap gives you a full visual design toolkit for subtitles — pick fonts, choose gradient colours, add outlines, set positioning, and see every tweak reflected on the video preview before you export a single frame.
Style inspector panel
The right-hand panel in the editor is the style inspector. It exposes every CSS-level property that affects how subtitles render: font family, font size, font weight, colour, background colour, background opacity, border radius, padding, text shadow X/Y/blur/colour, and vertical/horizontal position. All controls are sliders, colour pickers, or dropdowns — no manual CSS editing required.
Real-time WYSIWYG feedback
CutSnap's Remotion-based preview renders the video composition in a browser canvas. When you change a style property, the canvas re-renders within a single animation frame, giving you instant visual feedback. What you see in the editor is a pixel-perfect match for what will be burned into the exported video.
Styles saved per project
Your style choices are stored as part of the video project in the database. Return to any project days later and your custom font, colour, and shadow settings are exactly as you left them. You can also save styles as a reusable Style Profile to apply across multiple projects.
Can I use custom fonts from Google Fonts?
Yes. CutSnap loads Google Fonts at render time, so any font available in the Google Fonts library can be used for your subtitles.
Do the exported subtitles look exactly like the preview?
Yes. Both the preview and the FFmpeg export use the same Remotion composition, so fonts, sizes, colours, and positions are identical.
Can I apply different styles to different subtitle blocks?
Currently styles are global per project. Per-block styling is planned for a future release. Style Profiles let you switch entire style sets instantly.
