Style

The Style editor controls everything visual: how the Arabic text, the translations, and the surrounding elements look on screen. Start from a ready-made preset, then customize individual settings.

Three targets

The Style editor styles three targets:

  • Video — the global video settings: orientation, overlay, reciter name, and on-screen elements.
  • Arabic — the Arabic subtitle text: font, size, color, position, and effects.
  • Translation — the translation text (choose which edition to style).

Each target is split into panels. For the Arabic and Translation targets, the panels are Text Styling, Position & Layout, Background & Container, Visual Effects, WBW Effect, and Custom CSS.

The presets library

Instead of configuring everything by hand, apply a preset — a complete style you can reuse. The library has two sections:

  • Community presets — styles shared by other users; download and apply them.
  • Saved presets — your own presets, saved locally.

You can also:

  • Save your current style as a preset.
  • Publish a preset to the community.
  • Import / Export a preset as a JSON file.
  • Choose what a preset includes, such as styles, custom elements, and bundled fonts.

Styling individual subtitles

With no subtitle selected, changes to Arabic or a Translation target apply across the project. To change one subtitle, select it in the timeline, choose the target, and adjust its styles. Local values override the project-wide values. Clear the selection before editing the whole project again; selecting several subtitles applies the changes to that group.

Word-by-word effects

When subtitles have word-by-word timestamps, you can animate the text as it is recited: highlight the current word, show only the word being recited, add a color, underline, or glow, or reveal words progressively. These effects live in the Arabic and Translation targets, under the WBW Effect panel. Translation effects also need word-by-word translation mappings, created in the Translations tab, to follow specific Arabic words.

Keyframes

Controls with a keyframe button let you store values at specific times. Move the playhead, choose a value, and add a keyframe; repeat at another time to define a change. Keyframes follow the current scope: the whole target or the selected clips. The preview animates color, opacity, and visibility transitions; other style fades are rendered in the exported video.

Custom elements

Add your own on-screen content from the Style editor: a custom text or a custom image, each with its own position, timing, and appearance.
