The Active Text section is where you can adjust the styling of the active text in your captions. The active text is the text that is currently being spoken in the video.
These styles will override the Main Text, but not the Highlight Text styles.
Enabled
This toggle will enable or disable the active text styles. When disabled, the active text will use the main text styles.
Font
Choose a separate font family and style for active words only. This lets the word being spoken use a different font from the main caption text.
Scale
Set the scale of the active text. Adjusting this will increase or decrease the size of the active text.
Animation
The animation that will be applied to the active text as it is said. You can choose from a variety of animations and adjust the Intensity + Speed.
