How do I highlight text in subtitles?
With word highlighting, you can highlight text in your subtitles as they're being spoken, resulting in
this effect ↗.
You can do this by applying a
Secondary Style to your subtitles/transcription layer in the Template Editor.
- Apply the secondary style by enclosing some text with asterisks.
