How to change subtitle position, size, and color
Updated 2026-11-13
Before translation starts, "Step 2: Subtitle style" is where you change the subtitle lines, position, size, color, and background.
Steps
- 1. Upload the video, choose the languages, click "Continue", and open "Step 2: Subtitle style".
- 2. "Subtitle lines": choose "Translation only" or "Bilingual (source + translation)". Bilingual means one line of the original and one line of the translation.
- 3. "Position": choose "Top", "Middle", or "Bottom". When "Position" is "Middle", "Vertical offset" cannot be changed.
- 4. "Size" runs from 1 to 48. "Vertical offset" runs from 0 to 150 px. A larger number moves the line farther from the edge.
- 5. Set "Text color" and "Background opacity". Watch "Preview frame", and click "Another frame" to see another frame.
- 6. When it looks right, open "Step 3: Confirm" and click "Start translation".
Which settings to use
- If the type is too big, the page warns you that the subtitles cover too much of the frame. A long line wraps to 2 lines. Bilingual subtitles can wrap to 4 lines.
- With two lines, use a smaller size than with one line.
- Start with the default settings. Check “Preview frame”, then adjust.

Questions
Can the subtitles show only the translation?
Yes. Set "Subtitle lines" to "Translation only".
Why is Vertical offset gray?
It is unavailable when "Position" is "Middle". Switch to "Top" or "Bottom", then move it.
Does the preview match the finished video?
"Preview frame" uses the current frame. The same style is placed on the finished video.
Can I change the style after translation starts?
Not on a job that has already started. Upload again and set "Step 2: Subtitle style" before you translate.
