Default Video Settings
You can set the look and feel of all of your automatically generated video drafts by navigating to Settings and then Default Video Settings. This guide walks you through all of the available options.
Note: any defaults you set here can be overridden when you're editing a particular video.
Theme
Vocal Video Themes are styleguides for the visuals & motion graphics in your videos. They adapt to your branding, color scheme, and any scenes your videos include. We offer standard and premium Themes, and you can learn more about them in this guide.
Video Format
If your account typically produces one type of video format, such as Portrait for social media, you can set those defaults here. Videos can be published in square, portrait (vertical), or landscape (horizontal) formats.
Learn more about Video Formats.
Video Cropping
You can choose to fill the entire frame with your video drafts, or set Shrink to Fit as an account default here which will add 'side bars' in your brands colors to fit the square, portrait or landscape frame.
Visible Subtitles
You can opt out of having subtitles on all your new videos. A transcript is still generated and will be available for every video after publishing. Learn more about Transcriptions.
Fonts
Within the Vocal Video Editor, all customers can choose from ten fonts for subtitle, video headings and quotes in Galleries. Pro customers unlock an additional 50 premium fonts, and Enterprise customers can email support@vocalvideo.com with the file of the brand font to add it to their account.
You can also set the preferred font weight, and toggle italics or all-caps. Learn more about fonts here.
Background Music
You can choose a specific song to play for every one of your videos, or even opt to have no music at all.
Music Volume
By default, music is set at 50% volume but you can increase this or decrease this for accessibility.
Transcription Language
You can set a default language for transcription with this option. This means all new Collectors will be created hoping to collect in that language. On the Collector level, you can override this. Learn more about Localization and Languages.
