Customizing Colors and Fonts in Your OneTake Videos

OneTake allows you to control the visual identity of your videos by choosing color palettes and font styles during editing. This lets you align your videos with your brand, campaign, or preferred visual style without manually designing each element. Color and font settings apply to elements such as captions, on-screen text, layouts, and design components generated by OneTake.



Where to Configure Colors and Fonts

Color and font settings are available during the video editing flow.

To access them:

  1. Open your video project
  2. Go to Customize Video
  3. Scroll to Color palette and fonts
  4. Open the dropdown to view available options

From here, you can select either a recommended preset or define your own custom color palette.


OneTake provides several predefined color palettes designed to match specific video styles and layouts.

Examples include:

  • Recommended Colors
  • Nuro Classic
  • Vertical
  • She Creates
  • Reel Style
  • Interview

These presets are optimized for readability, contrast, and visual balance based on the selected video style. Choosing a recommended palette is useful if you want a clean result without manually adjusting colors.


Adding and Using Custom Colors

If you want more control, OneTake allows you to use Custom color settings.

When Custom is selected:

  • You can define your own color combinations
  • These colors are applied across text, captions, and design elements
  • The palette overrides the default colors of the selected video style

This is useful if you want your videos to match:

  • Brand guidelines
  • Website or landing page colors
  • Campaign-specific visuals
  • Personal design preferences

Custom colors are applied digitally during rendering and do not modify the original video file.


How Custom Colors Are Applied in a Video

Once selected, your custom colors are used consistently across:

  • On-screen text and captions
  • Title and emphasis elements
  • Visual accents generated by OneTake
  • Layout components tied to the selected video style

The exact placement and usage depend on the chosen video style, but the color palette remains consistent throughout the video.


Fonts and Typography Behavior

Fonts are paired with color palettes and video styles. OneTake ensures that:

  • Text remains readable against backgrounds
  • Font sizes and contrast are optimized automatically
  • Typography stays consistent across scenes

Font selection works together with color choices and does not require separate manual setup in most cases.


Applying Color Settings to Future Videos

You can choose to apply your selected colors and fonts to future videos by enabling the option to reuse settings. This helps maintain consistency across multiple projects without reconfiguring each time.


When to Use Custom Colors vs Presets

Use recommended palettes when:

  • You want fast setup
  • You do not have strict brand requirements
  • You want a style-optimized default look

Use custom colors when:

  • You need brand-specific colors
  • You want visual consistency with other marketing assets
  • You are producing videos for a specific campaign or identity
