How to make Hormozi-style captions in Premiere Pro, CapCut and Resolve

What are Alex Hormozi style captions?

They are short, loud captions. One to three words sit on screen at a time, set large in a heavy sans-serif and mostly in capitals. One word per caption is picked out in a second colour, and each word pops in as it is spoken. The look is made to be read on a phone in one glance.

This page describes a visual style only. The name comes from the videos where many editors first saw it. mouzeclick has no link with Alex Hormozi or his companies, and nothing here is endorsed by him. We make mouzeclick. Its caption styler appears only in the section labelled as ours, after the native methods.

The look breaks into six parts, and you can set each of them in any editor:

1. Few words. One to three per caption, so the eye reads the phrase without scanning.
2. Heavy type. The thickest weight of a plain sans-serif. Thin or decorative faces lose the punch.
3. Upper case. Capitals keep the word shapes even and the block of text tidy.
4. One keyword colour. The word that carries the point, often a number or a noun, goes in yellow, green or red. Everything else stays white.
5. Contrast. A thick outline or a hard shadow, so the text reads over a busy background.
6. Motion and extras. A short pop or bounce on each word, and now and then one emoji on the punchline.

Get the words right first, then the font, then the colour, then the motion. Working in that order saves restyling captions you later rewrite.

What font do Alex Hormozi captions use?

Any heavy sans-serif with thick strokes gets you the look. Weight, case and size matter more than the exact typeface. We don't name a font for any particular channel, because we haven't confirmed one from a published source, and a guess would only send you hunting for the wrong file.

What to look for in a caption font:

• Thick strokes at the heaviest weight. Black or Extra Bold, not Bold, if the family has it.
• Clear numbers. This style leans on figures, so check that 1, 7 and 0 read cleanly at a glance.
• Width that suits the frame. Condensed faces fit longer words on a 9:16 frame. Wide faces feel louder but wrap onto two lines sooner.
• Room for an outline. Very tight letter spacing makes outlines merge. Add a little tracking if the letters touch.

Start big and shrink the size until your longest likely word, such as a brand name, fits inside the platform's safe zone on one line.

If you caption with mouzeclick on Windows, its caption fonts include Montserrat, Anton, Bebas Neue, Hind, Mukta and Noto Sans Devanagari, and every font on your computer is available too. Styled captions are drawn into pictures, so Premiere needs none of the fonts installed. That matters when the project moves to another computer. For font, box and karaoke settings in Premiere itself, see our guide to Premiere Pro caption styles.

Which editor makes Hormozi captions easiest?

Use the editor you already cut in: all four routes below can produce the look. They differ in where the transcript comes from, which systems they run on and what you pay. Prices are as shown on each maker's page, checked on 3 November 2026. We make mouzeclick.

Where another tool is the better pick. If you already cut in CapCut, its own Auto captions are the shortest path, and CapCut says its web caption feature is free. If you edit on a Mac, or in Resolve or CapCut, mouzeclick's caption styler is not for you: it lives in Premiere Pro on Windows only. It's an add-on to Premiere, not an editor, so you still need a Premiere plan.

How do I make Hormozi captions in Premiere Pro?

Transcribe the sequence with Speech to Text, turn the transcript into captions, then restyle the track with short lines, a heavy font and a keyword colour. Adobe's help page covers generating transcripts and adding captions with Speech to Text in Premiere on desktop.

Adobe now calls the desktop app Adobe Premiere. We keep "Premiere Pro" here because that is what most editors type.

1. Finish the cut first. Remove pauses and retakes before you transcribe, so you don't have to retime captions afterwards.
2. Transcribe. Run Speech to Text on the sequence. Adobe's product page also says Text-Based Editing transcribes video on import.
3. Create captions from the transcript. Keep each caption to one to three words. For this look, shorter beats neater.
4. Proofread before styling. Fix names, numbers and brand words now. A fix made after styling means touching the text and the look twice.
5. Set the type. Choose a heavy font, capitals, a large size and a thick outline or shadow. The Adobe pages we checked don't name the caption styling controls, so we won't quote menu paths for them. Our guide to auto captions in Premiere Pro puts Adobe's route next to Whisper on your PC.
6. Colour the keyword. Choose the one word per caption that carries the point and give it the second colour. Leave this until last, once the words are final.
7. Add the pop. A pop on every word is the slow part to do by hand, because each word needs its own short scale move. This is where presets help.
8. Export, and translate if you need to: Adobe says captions can be translated in 18 languages.

On cost, Adobe's US page shows the Premiere single app from US$22.99/mo, annual, billed monthly, for the first year and for new subscribers only. There is no charge until the free trial ends, and you can cancel up to 14 days after for a full refund.

How do I make Alex Hormozi captions in CapCut?

In CapCut desktop, generate captions with Text › Auto captions, proofread them, then restyle them to the six parts above. The generating and export steps below are CapCut's own, from its subtitle page.

1. Launch CapCut desktop, start a New Project and click Import.
2. Drag your footage onto the timeline.
3. Open the Text tab in the top menu bar and select Auto captions in the sidebar.
4. Choose the source language of the audio, then click Create.
5. Read every caption and fix the words before you style them.
6. Style the captions with the six parts above: heavy font, capitals, one to three words, one keyword colour, an outline and a pop. The CapCut pages we checked don't publish caption styling steps, so we won't guess at panel names.
7. Click the blue Export button in the top right corner. Set the title, resolution and codec, make sure "Video exporting" is ticked, then click Export again.

What else CapCut confirms:

• You can export a standalone SRT file, on desktop and online.
• Generated captions can be translated automatically into another language.
• CapCut Web's caption feature is free to use.

Which desktop features need CapCut Pro is not published. Desktop runs on Windows 7 or above (Windows 10 recommended) and macOS 10.14 or above. For accuracy fixes and the free-versus-Pro question, see CapCut auto captions.

mouzeclick has no CapCut panel. Its mouse app works in CapCut like any app, on Windows and Mac. On Windows, its shortcut library includes 23 CapCut shortcuts, and mouzeclick comes with ready-made wheels for Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop and CapCut.

Can I make Hormozi captions in DaVinci Resolve?

Resolve has the parts you need: Subtitles and Closed Captioning on the edit page, and the Fusion page for motion graphics. The Blackmagic pages we checked don't publish auto caption or caption styling steps, so here is only what is confirmed:

• The edit page lists Subtitles and Closed Captioning as a feature.
• Visual effects and motion graphics are done on the Fusion page.
• Square and vertical resolutions for TikTok, Instagram, X, YouTube Shorts and Snapchat sit in the project and timeline settings, with Smart Reframe and direct upload to YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo and X.
• The free version works with virtually all 8-bit formats at up to 60fps, in resolutions up to Ultra HD 3840 x 2160.
• Studio adds text based editing, the DaVinci AI Neural Engine, magic mask and dozens more Resolve FX. It shows at $236 ("Buy Online Now", down from $295); whether that is a one-time price is not stated.
• Resolve runs on Mac, Windows and Linux.

For the caption steps themselves, see our page on auto captions in DaVinci Resolve, free and Studio. mouzeclick has no Resolve panel. The mouse app works in Resolve like any app, on Windows and Mac, and on Windows its shortcut library includes 41 Resolve shortcuts.

Which caption settings give the Hormozi look?

Short lines, the heaviest weight, capitals, one coloured word and a fast pop. Use these as a starting point in any editor, then adjust to your footage.

Placement is where this look most often fails. A caption that sits well in the timeline can end up under a vertical app's buttons. mouzeclick's Guides tab in Studio has 65 platform presets. Its TikTok preset, for example, keeps a margin of 130 px at the top, 484 px at the bottom, 140 px on the right and 44 px on the left. Hidden guides are never exported, and the tab warns you while they show. Guides run on Windows and Mac. Details are in safe zone guides in Premiere Pro.

Where mouzeclick fits (we make it)

If you edit in Premiere Pro on Windows, mouzeclick Studio's Captions tab handles the transcript and the Hormozi-style styling in one place. Whisper writes the captions on your computer, then mouzeclick draws them onto the video in the look you pick. Captions are Windows only. The Mac app does not include them.

1. In Premiere Pro, open mouzeclick Studio from Window › Extensions.
2. Go to Studio › Captions and pick a model: Fast (60 MB), Accurate (190 MB) or Best (574 MB). Each downloads once. After that, your audio never leaves the machine.
3. Pick one of 47 languages, automatic detection, or Hinglish (Roman letters). Translate to English is there if you need it.
4. Fix the words. Click a caption to jump to it and double-click to correct it. Unsure words are underlined. Use Replace all, and "Remember this fix" carries a correction into every new transcript.
5. Choose "Styled on the video" as the output. There are 289 looks in 27 families; for this style, start in Bold & kinetic or Word by word.
6. Set the word motion to Pop (Bounce, Drop in and Zoom in are there too) and the motion length to Snappy.
7. Draw keywords bigger, add emoji, and use a hard shadow, or a box such as a speech bubble, tape strip or cut-out.
8. Pick the font: Anton, Bebas Neue, Montserrat or any font on your computer.

The captions land as pictures, timed to the words, on a video track above everything else. They go into their own bin, and one button takes the last set off the timeline. The trade-off: they are pictures, not editable Premiere text. If you need editable text, output to Premiere's own caption track instead, as Subtitles, Short, Social or Word by word. The full tab is listed in the Studio feature library. For mixed Hindi and English speech, see Hinglish captions in Premiere Pro.

On a Mac you still get Studio's Silence, Timeline and Guides tabs, the Toolbar, Search effects, both Tool wheels, the extensions and the mouse app. Setup is on the Mac install page. The trial is 3 days with no card, and every Premiere Pro and After Effects tool works fully. Plans are in the pricing section.

Why do my Hormozi captions look wrong?

Usually it is one of six things: wrong words, too many words, too much colour, a lost position, a missing font or timing that drifted after a cut. Check them in this order.

• Wrong words. Fix the transcript before you style. Restyling after a word change doubles the work.
• Timing drifts after edits. Cut first, caption last. mouzeclick's Silence tab cuts pauses quieter than −40 dB from 0.40 s, keeping 0.12 s around speech, on Windows and Mac. See the Premiere Pro silence remover. Retakes (Windows only) keeps the last take, and captions made afterwards still line up. See the retake remover.
• Wall of text. Split any caption over three words. Two short beats read faster than one long one.
• Everything is yellow. Colour one word per caption at most. Some captions need none.
• Hidden under the app's buttons. Turn on a platform safe-zone guide and move the captions up.
• Font changed on another computer. Install the font there, or use styled captions drawn as pictures, which need no font in Premiere.
• No captions generated at all. That is a Premiere problem rather than a style problem. Work through Premiere Pro captions not working.
