# Add word-by-word captions in my brand font Canonical URL: https://getvidiyo.app/prompts/captions-in-my-brand-font Last updated: 2026-10-08 > TL;DR: Type "Add word-by-word captions in my brand font" and Vidiyo sets your font and accent colour as the project's brand, generates captions, and links them to that brand. Change the brand later and every caption, title and motion graphic restyles in one step. It can remember your brand for future projects. ## What to say > Add word-by-word captions in my brand font Category: Captions ## What Vidiyo does 1. Reads your saved brand, or asks for the font and colours if none is set. 2. Sets the project brand: body and heading font, accent colour, text and background colours. 3. Generates word-by-word captions and links their style to the brand, with the accent as the highlight. 4. Adds an outline where captions sit over colourful footage so they stay legible. 5. Places captions clear of faces and platform buttons, then checks contrast and line length. 6. Saves the brand to memory so your next project starts on it, if you ask. Generic captions make every video look like everyone else's. This prompt puts your own font and colours on the captions and ties them to a project brand, so titles and graphics match without restyling each one. ## What does Vidiyo do when you say this? Vidiyo sets your font and colours as the project's brand, generates word-by-word captions, and links their style to that brand with your accent as the highlight. Because the link is live, changing the brand later restyles every caption, linked title and motion graphic in one step. If you haven't told Vidiyo your brand yet, it asks for the font and colours, or reads the colours from a logo you attach. It adds an outline wherever captions sit over busy or coloured footage, places them clear of faces and platform buttons, and checks the contrast. Ask it to remember the brand and it saves it for your next projects. ## How do you phrase it? Name the font and colours, or point at something that has them: - "Add word-by-word captions in my brand font" - "Captions in Futura, highlight in #FF5A1F" - "Use the colours from this logo for the captions" (with the logo attached) - "Make my brand Inter and electric blue, and remember it" - "Switch the caption font to Lora but keep everything else" Hex codes are the most exact way to give a colour. A named colour like "warm orange" works, and the assistant picks a shade with readable contrast. ## How would you do this by hand? By hand, you'd set the font, size, colour, outline and highlight on one caption, save it as a style or template, and apply it to the rest. When the brand changes, you go back through every caption and title. The setup is easy once. Keeping it consistent across many videos and graphics is where the time goes. ## What should you check afterwards? Check the captions over your brightest and busiest shots, where a light accent can lose contrast. If a thin brand font reads poorly at caption size, ask for a heavier weight for captions only. On vertical videos, glance at the bottom of the frame, where platform buttons cover part of the picture. ## Honest limits - Brand looks are per project. Memory carries them to new projects when you ask. - Adding a custom font file needs chat through Claude Code with shell access approved. ChatGPT chat can use the built-in and Mac fonts. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which fonts can I use? Inter and Lora are built in, along with common Mac fonts such as Avenir Next, Futura and Helvetica Neue. Other fonts are added to the project as files, which the assistant can do for you when chat runs through Claude Code. ### Do I have to set my brand in every project? Brand looks are per project, but the assistant can save your brand to memory and apply it at the start of each new project when you ask. ### Can I edit the brand by hand? Yes. The Brand tab holds the same values: a palette or custom colours, heading and body fonts, the subtitle style and the scene motif. Changes there restyle linked captions too. ## Related - [Auto captions that are transcribed on your Mac](https://getvidiyo.app/features/auto-captions) - [Word-level captions](https://getvidiyo.app/glossary/word-level-captions) - [How to keep a consistent brand look across videos](https://getvidiyo.app/blog/consistent-brand-look-across-videos) - [The best caption styles for Reels and Shorts](https://getvidiyo.app/blog/caption-styles-for-reels-and-shorts) - [Add word-by-word captions](https://getvidiyo.app/prompts/add-word-by-word-captions) Download Vidiyo for Mac (free during the beta): https://getvidiyo.app/download
