Everyone wants Alex Hormozi captions.

You know the style. Bold text. High contrast. Words that punch through the screen and demand attention. It's become the gold standard for talking-head content on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

The problem? Getting those captions in CapCut is a nightmare.

The CapCut Struggle Is Real

Here's what happens when you try to create Alex Hormozi style captions in CapCut:

Import your video
Enable auto-captions
Wait for transcription
Select the caption track
Open style settings
Change the font (scroll through dozens)
Increase the font size
Change the text color to white
Add a stroke
Change stroke color to black
Increase stroke width
Add a shadow
Adjust shadow settings
Change animation to "pop" or "bounce"
Realize it doesn't look right
Tweak everything again
Apply to all captions (if the option works)
Manually fix the ones that didn't apply
Export
Realize you made a mistake and start over

Twenty steps. Minimum.

And that's if everything goes smoothly. Most creators spend 30+ minutes just styling captions for a 60-second video.

That's insane.

Why Hormozi Captions Work

Before we fix the problem, let's understand why these captions dominate social media.

Alex Hormozi captions work because they:

Grab attention instantly with bold, high-contrast text
Keep viewers reading even with sound off
Emphasize key words through animation and highlighting
Retention hacking: The constant movement (words popping in) keeps the "lizard brain" engaged - it stops viewers from getting bored during pauses
Feel professional without being boring

The classic Hormozi look relies on specific typography - usually a font like Montserrat Extra Bold or Komika Axis. In CapCut, you have to hunt for these fonts or import them manually. In BlitzCut, the bold preset uses an impact-heavy font automatically.

75% of social media viewers watch with sound off. Captions aren't optional anymore - they're survival.

But the style matters just as much as having captions at all. Generic, boring captions get ignored. Hormozi-style captions get watched.

BlitzCut: One Click. Done.

BlitzCut was built by creators who were sick of the CapCut struggle.

Here's how Alex Hormozi captions CapCut takes 20 steps, while BlitzCut takes one:

Upload your video
Tap "Subtitles"
Choose the Hormozi-style preset
Export

That's it. Three taps and you're done.

The AI transcribes your speech, syncs the timing, and applies the exact styling that works on social media. No font hunting. No stroke adjustments. No 30-minute styling sessions.

Side-by-Side: CapCut vs BlitzCut

Task	CapCut	BlitzCut
Add captions	2 min	30 sec
Style captions	20-30 min	0 (preset)
Word highlighting	Manual	Automatic
Animation	Manual setup	Built-in
Total time	25-35 min	1-2 min

The fastest caption app isn't the one with the most features. It's the one that gets you to "done" quickest.

What Makes BlitzCut Captions Different

1. Pre-Built Viral Styles (Not Generic Templates)

CapCut offers caption templates, but they often look generic or are locked behind the Pro paywall. Plus, tweaking them breaks the animation half the time.

BlitzCut's presets are native - you can adjust colors and size without breaking the "pop" effect. The styles that work - including Hormozi-style bold captions - are already built in and fully customizable.

Select a preset. Apply it. Move on with your life.

2. Word-by-Word Highlighting

You know how Hormozi's captions light up word by word as he speaks? That's called karaoke mode.

In CapCut, setting this up manually is a nightmare. In BlitzCut, it's a toggle.

3. AI-Powered Accuracy

Both apps use AI transcription. But BlitzCut's engine hits 95%+ accuracy on clear speech.

No more fixing "definitely" transcribed as "defiantly" twenty times per video.

4. Silence Removal Built In

Here's something CapCut can't do: create automatic jump cuts by removing silence from your video. BlitzCut handles this automatically too - learn more about removing silence from video.

BlitzCut handles both. Remove the dead air AND add viral captions in one workflow.

Your talking-head content goes from raw footage to polished, captioned, fast-paced video in minutes.

The Real Cost of CapCut Captions

Let's do the math.

CapCut styling time:

30 minutes per video on captions
Post daily = 3.5 hours/week on captions alone
Monthly = 14+ hours

BlitzCut styling time:

2 minutes per video on captions
Post daily = 14 minutes/week
Monthly = 1 hour

That's 13 hours saved every month just on captions.

If you're also manually removing silence in CapCut, add another 15+ hours. BlitzCut handles both automatically.

Time is the one resource you can't get back. Stop giving it to caption styling.

When CapCut Still Makes Sense

Let's be fair. CapCut isn't bad at everything.

Use CapCut if you:

Need complex multi-clip edits with transitions
Want access to trending templates and effects
Create content that's more visual than talking-head
Have time to invest in manual styling

Use BlitzCut if you:

Create talking-head content (tutorials, vlogs, reviews)
Want Alex Hormozi style captions without the work
Value speed over feature count
Post frequently and need a fast workflow

Different tools for different jobs. But for the specific task of adding viral captions quickly? BlitzCut wins.
