# Bold word by word captions (the Hormozi look)

When to use it: Talking head Shorts, Reels and TikToks where captions need to grab attention and keep people watching with the sound off.

Works with: [ffmpeg-skill](https://agentcut.dev/tools/ffmpeg-skill/), [VectCutAPI (CapCut/Jianying API)](https://agentcut.dev/tools/vectcutapi-capcut-jianying-api/), [CapCut MCP Server — Extended](https://agentcut.dev/tools/capcut-mcp-server-extended/), [Remotion Agent Skills (official)](https://agentcut.dev/tools/remotion-agent-skills-official/)

Burn in captions in the bold, word by word style that creators like Alex Hormozi made popular. Description of the look, not a copy of any template:

- 1 to 3 words on screen at a time, never more than one line.
- Very heavy sans serif (Black or ExtraBold weight), ALL CAPS, large: about 8 to 10% of frame height on 1080x1920.
- White text with a thick black outline (6 to 10 px at 1080 wide) and a soft drop shadow.
- The word being spoken is highlighted in one accent color [yellow #FFE600 or green #3BFF6A]. Other words stay white.
- Key words (numbers, money, strong verbs) get a quick scale pop: 100% to 115% and back over 6 frames.
- Position: center of frame or just below center, never in the bottom 20% where the app UI sits.
- Timing: each word appears exactly when it is spoken, about 1 to 2 frames after the word starts. Never early.
- No emojis unless I ask. No animation on filler words.
