There are various styles of subtitles available to choose from to ensure that the subtitles are visible at all times, even when on contrasting or difficult backgrounds. We can also work to a specification, or simply send you samples of subtitle styles for you to choose from.

Subtitling Samples

We will work with you to make sure that you are happy with the chosen subtitle style before we start the project. We can also advise on font selection and provide some font samples that would work best with your video

Below are samples of some of the more common subtitle styles our clients tend to favour.

Classic black and white subtitles

Many clients still prefer this classic look, often utilising a drop shadow effect or outline to ensure the text is still readable above contrasting backgrounds.

Subtitles with opaque background

There are many styles of opaque backgrounds that can be used from the standard opaque black which can be set to different levels of transparency, to more stylish and creative ones. Any of these can be fine-tuned to suit your needs.
