Default Video Settings
You can set the look and feel of all of your automatically generated video drafts by navigating to Settings > 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.
Color Palette
The first two colors in your Color Palette are used for the text and logo scenes in our Video Themes, as well as accents when a new draft video is created. The additional two colors will be easily accessible in the Video Editor to use as you customize your video drafts. As you edit each individual video, you can override these default colors as desired.
You can add your brand's hex color code or use our Color Picker to choose the right color from your website.
Themes
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 themin 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.

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.
Fonts
Within the Vocal Video Editor, all customers get ten new 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.
