Caption template I used for dozens of videos has disappeared

Hi,

Losing a go-to caption template in CapCut can throw off your whole editing workflow, especially if it’s a core part of your video style. Here’s what’s happening and what you can do:

Why the template disappeared

• CapCut regularly updates templates and text effects. Some older ones get replaced or removed from the library.

• Region restrictions. Certain caption/text effects are available only in specific countries, so after an update it might not show up in your area anymore.

• Cache/project dependency. If it was a preloaded template, it may not reload properly after updates, and sometimes even old projects can’t recall it if it’s been fully deprecated.

What you can do

1. Check for updates
   Make sure CapCut (PC/Mac or mobile) is updated as sometimes missing templates reappear after refreshing the library.

2. Search under different categories
   CapCut occasionally moves templates from “Captions” to “Text Effects” or “Styles.” Look carefully in both.

3. Check team/cloud templates
   If you’ve ever saved it to your CapCut cloud or team space, it may still be retrievable there.

4. Recreate the style manually
   From your screenshot:

   • White bold text + highlighted keyword in yellow

   • Black semi-transparent rectangle behind
     You can rebuild this with basic text + background + color styling and then save it as your own preset, so you’re not dependent on CapCut keeping it.

5. Use an old project as a template
   If you still have at least one project where the style is intact:

   • Open that project, copy the text layer, and save it as a custom template (CapCut allows saving text styles).

6. Alternative workaround
   If CapCut fully removed it:

   • Create your own version in a graphics app (e.g., Canva, Photoshop, Figma) and import as overlay.

   • This way, your branding is safe from future removals.

If you still have a project where that caption style is showing, here’s how you can extract it and save it as a reusable custom preset in CapCut (works on PC and mobile):

On CapCut PC / Mac

1. Open the old project where the caption style is intact.

2. Click the text layer (the one with your styled caption).

3. In the right-hand panel (Text Properties), check the style settings (font, size, background, color, highlight).

4. Right-click the text box on the timeline and select "Save as Text Template" (or click the star icon in the text settings panel).

   • This adds it to your Custom text templates library.

5. Next time, just go to Text → Templates → Custom and drag it into any new project.

On CapCut Mobile (iOS/Android)

1. Open the project where the styled caption exists.

2. Tap the text clip to select it.

3. At the bottom, tap Style (or Edit → Style/Effects depending on version).

4. You’ll see a Save as Style / Favorite option (usually a star or heart icon).

   • Tap it, and the caption style gets saved under Favorites.

5. In future projects, go to Text → Style → Favorites and apply it instantly.

If you want to be extra safe:

• Duplicate the old project and keep it as a “Style Bank” project where you store all your favorite text/caption effects.

• That way, even if CapCut removes them from the library again, you’ll always have a backup.

Based on your screenshot, here is how you can recreate that caption style manually in CapCut and then save it as your own reusable preset:

Caption Style Breakdown

• Font: Bold Sans Serif (CapCut’s built-in Montserrat or Poppins Bold works very close).

• Font Size: Medium-large (adjust to fit screen, but make sure it’s thick enough to stand out).

• Text Color:

  • Main text: White (#FFFFFF)

  • Highlighted word (“architecture” in your example): Yellow/Orange (#FFB800)

• Background:

  • Black rectangle behind text, semi-transparent (Opacity ~70%).

  • Rounded edges if available.

• Shadow/Stroke: None (kept clean).

Steps to Recreate in CapCut (PC or Mobile)

1. Add Text

   • Insert a text box → type your caption.

2. Split Highlighted Word

   • Example: the city’s → normal text

   • architecture → duplicate text, change its color to yellow

   • is stunning → normal text again

   • Place them together to look seamless.

3. Add Background

   • Select the text layer → enable Background (or Canvas → Background).

   • Choose Black and reduce opacity to around 65–70%.

4. Adjust Layout

   • Center-align text.

   • Keep background covering entire caption length.

5. Save as Preset

   • On PC/Mac → Right-click → Save as Text Template.

   • On Mobile → Tap Style → Favorite (star icon).

Instead of re-splitting words every time:

• Save the whole text box with the yellow highlight already inside (just edit the word each time).

• This makes it behave exactly like your old template.
