Top bar

  • Enable toggle
  • Text: multi-line, wrap with *asterisks* to emphasize
  • Font: 20 fonts (Tmon Sori, Pretendard, BM Jua, GmarketSans, NanumSquare, Black Han Sans, etc.)

  • Size: 20–100px at 1920 width (4px steps)
  • Alignment: left / center / right

Bottom bar

  • Profile image: circular auto-crop (region hidden when not uploaded)
  • Channel name + subtitle: two lines, emphasis supported
  • Alignment: left (profile → text) / right (text → profile)
  • Color / font: separate for channel name and subtitle

Auto caption adjustment

When the top/bottom bars are on, captions auto-avoid them. Use the caption-position slider (0–300px) for additional margin.

Tips

  • Lock a signature color → channel recognizable from the visuals alone
  • Top bar short and bold — 1–2 key words
  • Bottom-bar profile = channel avatar identical
  • One emphasis color (pick from red / yellow / neon pink)
