What's New in Visuals
Most people have one look they use on everything. The same font, the same color, the same glow behind the words.
Until now you had to rebuild it by hand, every clip, every video. Now you save it once, give it a name, and it's waiting for you in every project, on every device you sign into. And any clip you've already styled can be copied and pasted onto another one.
My Styles: build a look once, keep it
Say you spent 20 minutes getting your lyric text exactly right. The font, the size, the color, the shadow, the way the active word lights up. The next video, you started from scratch and tried to remember what you did.
Now you don't. Save that look as a style and it's yours.
To save one:
Open the text or caption style panel and save from there, or
Right-click a clip on the timeline and choose Save style.
Give it a name and it's done.
To use one: your saved styles show up as preview cards right next to the built-in template libraries, at the top of the list. One search box covers all of it, so your styles and the built-in templates come up together. You can see what a style looks like before you use it.
Applying a style doesn't move your clip
This is the part worth knowing. If you apply a style to a clip you've already placed, it changes the look and nothing else. Where you put it, how big it is, and how long it runs all stay exactly where you left them.
Text styles can remember placement too
When you save a text style you'll see two toggles, Remember position and Save duration. Both are on by default.
These only kick in when you drag that style onto the timeline as a new element. That's when it can land in the same spot, at the same length, as the one you saved it from. Apply it to a clip that's already there and it still only changes the look.
Caption styles save the look only.
It travels between aspect ratios
Build a style in 9:16 for TikTok, then use it in a 16:9 video. Font sizes and spacing scale down carefully so your text doesn't spill out of its box.
Deleting takes two steps
Click the X, then confirm on Delete?. A stray click can't take out a style you spent time on.
Your styles are on every device
Your styles live in your account now, not in one browser. Sign in on your laptop, then on a different machine at the studio, and they're there.
If you had styles saved before this update, you don't have to do anything. They're brought over for you the first time you open the video editor.
You can keep up to 200 styles.
Your styles are tied to your account, not to the browser, so 2 people signing in on the same machine keep their own. Same for the clip clipboard.
Copy and paste any clip
Right-click any clip on the timeline and you get four new options.
Option | What it does |
Copy | Copies the whole clip. |
Copy style | Copies just how it looks. |
Paste | Drops the copied clip onto the timeline. |
Paste style | Puts the copied look onto the clip you right-clicked. |
Cmd/Ctrl+C and Cmd/Ctrl+V work too. Your clipboard carries across projects, so you can copy a clip in one composition and paste it into another.
Paste style only appears when the look you copied actually fits the clip you're pointing at, so you won't paste something that can't work.
Also fixed
Your text edits stop disappearing. Text and caption edits you'd typed used to get dropped if you switched clips, closed the panel, or applied a preset. They survive all of that now. Editing several fields quickly also used to keep only the last one. Fixed.
Uploading your own album cover works. In the lyric video flow, uploading your own cover art now fills the cover slot the way it should.
Plus assorted polish across the text and caption panels.
