Hug Lines captions- more precise controls
J
Jon Sadler
I’m trying to recreate a clean “hug lines” caption style. Currently, when I use Hug lines, the background box becomes noticeably taller/padded. Is there any way to reduce the vertical padding? Or if not, could you please add finer control over the vertical padding / inner spacing for Hug lines caption backgrounds? This would be a huge help for matching brand styles.

Please please please add a padding feature for the background color field on captions! We're provided with so much granular control over all other aspects of captioning, but the tight alignment of the text against the background box ruins it all.

I would love to be able to adjust the padding of the caption background. Currently, the captions feel too cramped when using a background colour. I have included an example of how it would look with more padding.

Add padding controls for text background

It'd be great to have a control which allows easy adjustment of the padding for a text box background.

Ability to change text background parameters

Such as curving the edges on a background for some text. We also need to be able to resize the background as it's often too large, or not centred correctly

Adjust Background of Captions
Gousi Positiv
Hello, is there any way i can bring the Text in the middle of the Yellow Background Box? Many of my clients complain, that there is much more space under the word than above the word. Its just not centered and doesnt look good. Why is it not in the middle of the yellow box?
