fairytale video
Make an ad
Choose a readable caption font for an AI ad
Choose a caption font by reading the longest phrase over the busiest part of the finished video. A font that looks attractive in a menu can become crowded on a phone. The goal is to let viewers follow the actual speech while still seeing the product and any speaking face.
Use the studio’s real choices
fairytale video offers Montserrat, Poppins, Inter, Roboto, Open Sans, Arimo, Bebas Neue, Anton and Luckiest Guy. They are the available caption fonts, rather than a promise that any brand font can be uploaded. The live caption preview and final caption render use the same font files.
Start by comparing two options on the same words and box. Montserrat or Inter can be a useful comparison for a straightforward explanatory phrase; Anton or Bebas Neue offers a different display treatment. Treat those as visual starting points, not evidence that one font produces better campaign results.
A practical comparison on one sentence
Imagine the approved line is, “See the pocket on the front of this bag.” After explicitly choosing Add captions, review what was heard. The studio has no transcript-word editing control, so hold a captioned copy with incorrect words. Use the same box position and size while comparing the fonts so you can observe the shape and wrapping rather than changing several things at once.
- Read the phrase at normal phone size, without enlarging the player.
- Check whether important letters remain distinguishable over the background.
- Pause on the longest displayed phrase to inspect line breaks.
- Look at the product pocket as well as the words: both need room.
- Confirm the chosen font can draw every character in the transcript.
The studio checks character support and may ask you to choose another font. Do not assume a typeface covers every writing system because one sample phrase looks correct. Use the actual words from the video to make that decision.
Pair the font with an animation deliberately
The available animations are Phrase, Smooth phrase and Word by word. Phrase builds up words with a bounce; Smooth phrase builds them with a smoother entrance; Word by word replaces each word with the next. A longer explanation may be easier to follow as a building phrase, while a short line can suit a single-word treatment. Review the result rather than treating that preference as a rule.
Render and inspect a separate copy
Captions use no extra credits; transcription starts only when you choose Add captions. Once the words, font, animation and placement are satisfactory, Render captioned video creates a new H.264 MP4. The original finished video remains available.
Watch the downloaded captioned copy all the way through before release. If the font is readable but the box conceals a label, fix placement instead of shrinking the words until they are hard to read. See caption-box placement, word review and the broader caption workflow for those separate decisions.
