How to Apply Custom Colors and Fonts in Your OneTake Videos

OneTake allows you to fully customize the visual identity of your videos by defining your own colors and fonts. This helps ensure your videos match your brand guidelines, visual preferences, or design requirements across platforms. Custom colors and fonts are applied at the video styling stage, before export, and directly affect how text, titles, captions, and the video player appear.

Where to Find Color and Font Settings

Custom colors and fonts are configured while editing a video.

Open your project in OneTake
Go to Customize Video
Locate Color palette and fonts on the right-hand panel
Select Custom from the available color palette options

Once Custom is selected, the full color and font editor opens.

Custom Color Settings Explained

When the custom editor opens, you can control multiple color elements individually. Each field accepts a color picker or a HEX color value.

Available Color Controls

You can configure the following:

Background color for the player

Controls the main background color behind your video content.

Background color for your text

Applies to caption and text overlays where background contrast is used.

Title color

Defines the color used for titles and highlighted text elements.

Bullet color

Used for bullet points and list-style text elements in supported layouts.

Text color

Sets the primary color for captions, subtitles, and body text.

Background color for the control bar

Affects the video player controls when the OneTake Player is used.

Changes are reflected immediately in the preview so you can verify contrast and readability before saving.

Custom Font Settings Explained

Below the color options, you can define typography settings for your video.

Font Controls Available

Primary font

This font is used for titles, captions, and main text elements. OneTake provides a wide selection of supported fonts, including modern and international font families.

Secondary font

Used when a layout requires visual distinction between headings and supporting text.

Font size

You can keep the Default Size (Recommended) or adjust it depending on your video style and platform.

Font selections are applied consistently across the video to maintain visual coherence.

Saving and Applying Your Custom Design

Once you have finished setting your colors and fonts:

Click Save and Apply
Your custom design is applied immediately to the current video

If you want the same colors and fonts to be reused automatically:

Enable Apply this color palette to all my future videos

This ensures new projects start with the same branding without additional setup.

How Custom Colors and Fonts Are Used in Videos

Custom colors and fonts affect:

Titles and highlighted text
Subtitles and captions
On-screen text blocks
Video layout elements tied to the selected video style
OneTake Player interface when embedded or shared

They do not alter the underlying video footage itself. Only text, overlays, and player visuals are affected.

Using Custom Design With Video Styles

Custom colors and fonts work alongside OneTake’s video styles such as Reel Style, Interview, Vertical, and others.

The video style controls layout and structure. The custom color and font settings control appearance and branding. Both are applied together during processing.

Editing or Changing Custom Designs Later

You can update colors and fonts at any time:

Open the video again
Go to Customize Video
Return to Color palette and fonts
Adjust values and save

Changes will be applied to the next processed version of the video.
