Make captions or a motion graphic mix with the picture: Screen, Multiply, Overlay, Exclusion or Difference. Shown in the player and MP4 exports.

A blend mode sets how captions or a motion graphic mix with the video under them. Normal, the default, sits on top of the picture.

The modes

  • Screen — lightens. Good for glows and light leaks.
  • Multiply — darkens. Dark shapes print into the picture.
  • Overlay — adds contrast and color from the graphic.
  • Exclusion and Difference — white text inverts against the picture, the POV vlog look. Pair them with large, bold, white type.

Set it

Ask Eddie: "make the captions invert against the video", or "set the title graphic to screen". You can also pick a blend in the caption track's style controls.

Where it shows

  • Player and MP4 exports — yes.
  • Timeline exports — captions and graphics come in at Normal. The export notes say so.

Blend modes cost no credits. A prompt run that sets one is billed like any other run.
