Captionshaper 1.1.2

Captionshaper now tells you when a new version is out.

• Once a day it asks GitHub for the latest version number and shows a small notice with a download link. Nothing about you or your videos is sent.
• Turn it off with "Check for updates" at the bottom of the home screen.

Captionshaper 1.1.0

Captionshaper 1.1.0: caption styles, rebuilt.

• Nine styles to start from: Clean, Subtitle box, Bold, Highlight, One word, Reveal, Neon, Comic and Minimal.
• Eleven caption fonts, including Montserrat, Poppins, Anton, Bebas Neue and Bangers.
• The spoken word can change colour or sit on a rounded box.
• Word animations: pop, fade in, slide up. Words not spoken yet can show, dim or stay hidden.
• Outline, shadow and glow, each with its own colour.
• The preview now matches the exported video exactly: every word is measured and placed by Captionshaper, with the same fonts, sizes and animation timing.
• Captions that would run off the screen shrink to fit, and vertical videos keep clear of the TikTok, Reels and Shorts buttons.
• Projects from 1.0 open with their style converted.
