Mono Scatter Caption
A crushed black-and-white talking head where cream captions scatter either side of your face and the payoff word slams in behind you.
What Mono Scatter Caption does to your footage
Everything here is black, white, and one pale cream. There is no other colour. Your words come up two at a time in lowercase, thrown into the empty space on the left and the right of your head. Each side swaps on its own clock, so the frame never feels static. When you hit the payoff, one huge lowercase word slams in behind you, almost the full width of the frame. You block part of it, and that is the point.
- Word pairs scattered to the left and right of your head, alternating cream and near white.
- The payoff word slams in full width behind you and holds about two seconds.
- Cutaway shots stay black and white and mostly still.
- Three graphic states break the black: a gallery card, an illustrated grey plate, and torn paper scraps.
- The camera is locked or drifting. There are no push-ins.
- Hard cuts only.
What footage suits Mono Scatter Caption
- A talking head shot against a plain background with space around your head.
- Content where one line has to land hard.
- Anyone who wants a look with no brand colour in it.
What Mono Scatter Caption will not do
It needs clear space beside your head. A tight close-up leaves the captions nowhere to go.
How to edit a video in the Mono Scatter Caption style
- Upload your footage. Drop in the recording you already made. Clypmint transcribes it and finds where the usable takes are.
- Pick Mono Scatter Caption. Choose Mono Scatter Caption from the style picker. Its whole editing grammar comes with it.
- Let it cut. Clypmint cuts the dead air, sets the captions the way Mono Scatter Caption sets them, and places that style's graphics on the beats where they belong.
- Change it in a sentence. Tell the Director what to change. It edits the timeline you already have rather than starting over.
- Export it. Download the finished file. On a paid plan there is no mark on it.
How long should my footage be?
Mono Scatter Caption is built for footage between 20 seconds and 4 minutes. Shorter than that and the style has no room to put its devices anywhere. Longer than that and it runs out of vocabulary before your recording ends. Your plan also sets the longest single file you can upload, and that limit is listed on the pricing page.
What shape of video does it make?
Mono Scatter Caption is wide, for YouTube and a website. It also runs at 9:16 and 1:1.
