Alex Hormozi captions are one of the most trending styles of video subtitles for short content. In this blog post, I will share multiple methods of how you can add video captions like Alex Hormozi.
I have covered both free and paid ways.
Alex Hormozi Captions Font & Color
Alex Hormozi keeps switching his caption style. Here are the two most famous styles.
Montserrat Captions (Old Style): A few months ago, the Montserrat font with a 900 font-weight, also known as Extra Bold, was used for his captions
This caption style is used to highlight spoken words. Here is one of the videos in which Alex Hormone has used this caption style.
This caption style has 3 main colors Yellow (#f7c204), white, and green (02fb23) colors.
The last thing is font shadow in the black color. Here are the best fonts for YouTube shorts
Impact captions (New Style): Recently Alex Hormozi switched to Impact font. They add a glow effect on captions as well. Here is one screenshot of the new style.
There is no specific color for this style. They keep switching colors depending upon the video for example in the above screenshot they have used a blue color that is matching with his Shirt style. Sometimes red color is used, so it depends upon the context.
In this blog post, I will show you how you can create both style captions.

Other AI Tools
There are many other tools that have an Auto Captions (vidyo) feature however they don’t have Alex Hormozi’s caption style. You can’t create from scratch because of limited functionality.
The main limitation is animation. You can’t animate every single word for a specific period of time using tools like Vidyo ai, simplified, etc.
Go for a Video editor such as Capcut if you want to build a template from scratch with complete customization.
Using Capcut
Capcut is a well-known free video editor. It is available cross-platform from iPhone to Android, windows to Mac. It is available as a cloud-based solution too.
Auto Subtitles are just one of the features of Capcut. Capcut recently added many caption templates, however, there is no Alex Hormozi template.
Creating old-style (Montserrat) captions is a very time-consuming process in Capcut. Basically, you have to listen and change the color, and size of those specific words. Here is the tutorial from the Capcut team.
However, building Alex’s new captions template is quite easy in Capcut. Here are the steps for the capcut desktop. The steps are the same for mobile apps and desktop software. However, the interface would be slightly difference
- Upload your video and add it to the timeline.
- Go to caption and click on auto captions as shown in the screenshot.
- It will transcribe your video captions once done you will see something like this. Now correct the mistakes and split captions into multiple subtitles. You can split for your subtitles into multiple for maximum readability.
- Then go to text and select the impact font. Install impact font if you didn’t find it in the list.

Using Adobe Premier Pro
Adobe Premier Pro is one of the most advanced and popular video editing platforms. Adobe Premier Pro is not recommended for beginners.
There is a learning curve and it is not free so instead of learning this you can explore other options.
Adobe Premier Pro has a built-in transcription service that can transcribe your content very accurately.
However similar to Capcut Premier Pro does not have any template that can high words as they are spoken.
Thus you create a template from scratch. Here is the video tutorial.
Creating Alex Hormozi’s new style captions is quite easy. You need to select the Impact font and add a glow effect.
You can add a text glow effect by creating a duplicate layer under the subtitles and then add Gaussian Blur from the effects pannel. Then increase the blurriness to 500.
Thus this is how you can create Alex Hormozi captions in Premier Pro. Premier Pro is quite heavy and quite difficult to learn. Filmora is the best Video editor for beginners.
Pros
- Complete control over customization
Cons
- Not Beginner friendly
- Transcription Accuracy is a problem
Using Filmora
Wondershare Filmora is one of the best video editors for YouTube content creators. However, Making Alex Hormozi captions is somewhat similar to the capcut.

Basically new style of captions is quite easy however the old famous style is quite a time-consuming process.
Filmora has a speech-to-text add-on however it would cost you extra money. ListenMonster lets you transcribe unlimited files for free.
Filmora’s editing workflow is similar to capcut, so if you create a template inside Capcut you can follow similar steps to create a template in filmora.
Overall Fimora provides you with more control than capcut and is easier to use than Premier Pro.
Here are the steps for a new style.
- Create a new project, import media, and add to the timeline.
- Then add subtitles, we recommend listenmonster for subtitles since it is more accurate than Filmora’s built-in speech-to-text addon and is free as well.

Should You Copy Alex Hormozi’s Style?
Should you copy Alex Hormozi’s style or not it depends upon your video type.
You should not copy his style if visuals are more important such as micro vlogging videos.
Alex uses fonts that occupy a lot of space so it would hide your visuals. In this scenario, you should always use a font with a lower font-weight.
However, you can copy Alex’s style if the information is more important than visuals such as some informative videos.
Make sure you don’t have a lot of characters per subtitle thus it decreases the readability and hides visuals as well.
Keep experimenting, as Alex Hormozi keeps changing the style of his captions.
