Hi,

Based on the CapCut interface shown in your screenshot and typical functionality:

1. Within the "Animation" > "Captions" Presets: It is generally not possible to change the specific highlight color within those pre-designed animation presets. These animations come as fixed styles, including their built-in colors (like the yellow highlight in the example you circled). You choose the overall animation effect, but you usually cannot customize individual color elements of that specific animation preset.

2. Alternative - Using Text Settings for Highlight: You can create a highlight effect with a custom color using the main Text settings for your captions:

   • Select your caption clip on the timeline.
   • Go to the Text tab in the top-right panel (next to Captions, Animation, etc.).
   • Scroll down within the Text options until you find the Background setting.
   • Enable the Background option.
   • Here, you can choose any Color you want for the background, adjust its Opacity, and potentially change its shape (like corner radius). This background effectively acts as a customizable highlight.

Therefore, if you want a specific highlight color, you should apply it using the Text > Background settings rather than relying on the fixed colors within the Animation > Captions presets. You might want to choose a simpler animation preset (or none) if you are using the Text Background feature for highlighting.

If you want to generally change the highlight color of captions in CapCut Desktop then follow these steps:

1. Select the Caption: Click on the caption text in your timeline to select it.​

2. Access Text Settings: With the caption selected, navigate to the "Text" tab located on the upper toolbar.​

3. Modify Highlight Color:

   • In the text settings panel, locate the "Style" section.​

   • Look for the "Background" or "Highlight" color option. This allows you to change the color behind the text, effectively altering the highlight color.

   • Choose your desired color from the palette.​

Please note that the availability of certain features may depend on the version of CapCut you're using. If you don't see the highlight color option, ensure your software is updated to the latest version.​
