Style Video

Style every clip from one editing node.

Style Video is the primary workflow node for titles, subtitles, watermarks, media overlays, lower thirds, outro end cards, outro audio, and color grading. It replaces the separate Add Subtitles, Add Title Overlay, Add Watermark, and Add Outro nodes for new workflows. Background music remains available through the separate Add Music node.

Schema

Input: Clips
Output: Styled clips
Node type: style_video
Required styling fields: None

All Style Video fields are optional. An empty Style Video node is valid and passes clips through unchanged.

Add the node

Open Workflows, create or edit a workflow, and add a trigger or another node that outputs clips. In the Editing stage, select Style Video. Click the node on the canvas whenever you want to reopen its settings. The settings panel opens with two tabs:

Templates for starting from a saved look
Create your own for building or changing the style layer by layer

Choose how you want to work

You can use Style Video in three different ways.

Approach	How to start	Where the result is saved
Use a template	Select a look in Templates, then optionally adjust it in Create your own.	The selected configuration is stored on this Style Video node.
Create a reusable template	Select Blank or start from a template, customize the elements, and click Save Template.	The configuration stays on the node and is also added to your reusable template gallery.
Create a one-off style	Select Blank or customize any template, then skip Save Template.	The configuration stays on this node only and is not added to the template gallery.

Save draft or Publish saves the Style Video configuration with the workflow. Save Template is a separate, optional action that makes the same look reusable elsewhere.

Start from a template

Open Templates, then use Vertical or Landscape to filter the gallery. The filter only changes which templates are shown. Each template keeps the aspect ratio and visual treatment with which it was saved. Select a template tile to apply that complete look. Then open Create your own to add clip-specific text or graphics, change an element, remove an element, or adjust the color grade. Select Blank when you want no starting template and would rather build the stack from scratch.

Selecting another template replaces the Style Video setup currently on the node. Choose the starting template before making detailed custom changes.

Create your own style

The Create your own tab organizes the node into five sections. Every section is optional, and you can use any combination of them.

Section	What you can add	Main controls
01 Title Text	One or more title overlays	Generate a title from each clip with a prompt or enter fixed text. Choose a title template and palette, then configure duration, intro and outro transitions, typography, background, position, dynamic positioning, and face avoidance.
02 Subtitles	One subtitle layer	Choose a preset or customize caption placement, wrapping, typography, colors, backgrounds, animation, and speaker styling. You can also reposition and resize the subtitle area in the preview.
03 Graphics	Watermarks, image or video overlays, and one lower third	Choose media, position and size it, set timing and transitions where available, and style speaker identification. You can add multiple watermarks and media overlays.
04 Outro End Card	An end card, outro audio, or both	Choose the closing visual or audio, set its timing and duration, and control audio volume. The outro always renders as the final segment.
05 Color Grading	A preset look or manual grade	Compare Original, Clean, Warm Film, Cool, Punchy, and Mono, or use the Light, Color, and Finishing adjustments with the live RGB histogram.

Adding an element opens its detailed editor. Return to All Elements to see the complete stack. An existing element can be opened for editing, disabled without deleting its settings, or removed from the node.

Title Text

Use Add Title Overlay for a headline near the start of each clip. A title can be generated independently for every clip from the Title Generation Prompt, or it can use fixed copy. The preview text lets you design the title before a workflow run generates the final clip-specific text. Title controls include reusable title templates, palettes, timing, entry and exit transitions, font and spacing, background and shadow treatments, and vertical placement. Dynamic Position can anchor a title to a detected split-view seam, while Avoid Faces moves it away from detected people and subjects.

Subtitles

Use Add Subtitles to choose one caption treatment for the node. Start from a subtitle preset, then customize positioning, line length and count, typography, colors, background treatment, highlights, animation, and speaker-specific styling. The preview updates as you work. Only one subtitle layer can be added to a Style Video node. If subtitles are not needed, leave the section empty.

Graphics

The Graphics section can contain:

Watermark: a logo or brand mark pinned to a chosen position
Media Overlay: an image or video placed over the clip for branding, context, or additional visuals
Lower Third: a speaker name and role near the lower edge of the frame

You can add multiple watermarks and media overlays, but only one lower-third treatment. When a section contains multiple elements, use its forward and back controls to change their order within that section.

Outro End Card

Use Add an End Card to configure a closing visual, an optional outro audio sting, or both. The outro is a terminal timeline segment rather than a normal overlay, so it always closes the clip after the visual stack.

Color Grading

The Looks tab compares the current video frame with each built-in grade. The Adjustments tab provides a live RGB histogram and controls for exposure, brightness, contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, vibrance, temperature, tint, fade, vignette, blur, and film grain. Color grading affects the base video. Subtitles, titles, watermarks, lower thirds, and media overlays keep their authored colors. Custom .cube LUT files are not currently supported.

Understand the visual order

The editor labels the stack FRONT → BACK. Title Text is in front of Subtitles, and Subtitles are in front of Graphics. Multiple elements inside the same section can be moved forward or back with the arrow controls. The Outro End Card and Color Grading sections behave differently from visual layers: the outro is always the final timeline segment, and color grading is applied to the base video behind the authored elements.

Save a reusable template

After configuring the node, click Save Template, enter a template name, and keep the preview open while Overlap renders the template preview. Overlap joins the first and last six seconds of the current preview into a lightweight GIF and saves the reusable configuration to your account. Personal templates are marked Yours and appear before Overlap templates in the gallery. A saved template retains the reusable visual treatment, including subtitle and title styling, generation prompts, graphics, lower thirds, outro settings, and color grading. Generated title output is not reused as fixed content; the title can be generated again for each new clip. You do not need to save a template to use the node. For a one-off setup, simply configure the node, skip Save Template, and save or publish the workflow as usual. The style will apply whenever that workflow runs, but it will not appear as a reusable template in the gallery.

API configuration

style_video_config is a versioned object. The wrapper requires version and layers, but the styling elements themselves are optional and layers may be empty. Every layer uses a stable, unique id.

Deprecated standalone nodes

The standalone Add Subtitles, Add Title Overlay, Add Watermark, and Add Outro nodes are deprecated but supported. Existing nodes remain editable and executable, and saved workflows are not migrated automatically. They are no longer offered as separate additions for new workflows; use Style Video instead.
