Swap between over 100 preset styles or design a completely new one using a spectrum of colors, sizes, drop shadows, borders, and backgrounds.

Why should I translate videos to English?
A major reason to translate videos into English is that one out of five people on Earth speak the language at least at a conversational level. That means that about 1.5 billion people are able to understand and take action on your messaging in English, making it an incredibly large audience to expand into.
Further, search engines like Google don't operate in a single language, so having multiple language versions of a video — or multiple languages within one video — allows Google to index and your content in new ways and improve your search rankings.
