How can I turn off text shadow in auto-generated captions during screen recording?

Mar 25, 2024

Creating a Try Me/Test Me module using a screen recording. By default the auto-generated captions have shadow on the text.

Even when I turn it off in the font tab, the shadow is still there.

Now, I can go in and change that text style, but unless I'm missing something, I'd have to manually do that for each and every caption. Is there any other way to fix this?

Hello Michael,

Happy to help! I can confirm that screen recording captions have text shadow by default. You can remove it by selecting a caption object and clicking the shadow button on the toolbar. You mentioned that the shadow persists even after doing this on your end. Try running these steps to fix possible installation issues to fix this unexpected behavior.

Once done, you can remove all shadows in succeeding screen recording captions by right-clicking on a caption object without a shadow and selecting "Set as default shape." 

Set as default shape
