The words you said,
drawn 24 ways.

Captions come off the actual audio, not a script you paste in. Then they are drawn in a look you pick — 24 of them, each with its own colour, its own pace, and its own way of arriving.

A look decides how the words are drawn. A layout decides where they sit. They are separate on purpose: the same look reads completely differently over a face than it does under one, and one setting cannot serve both.
