}List text presets
Returns Tella’s built-in text styles and the authenticated user’s saved text presets — the tiles the editor’s Text panel shows. Pass a presetId as presetId when adding or updating a text overlay to style it in one call; fontSizeScale is relative to the editor’s default size so a preset reads the same on every canvas.

Hex color string. Required when type = 'solid'. Transparent backgrounds use #00000000.
^#(?:[0-9A-Fa-f]{6}|[0-9A-Fa-f]{8})$"#5E51F8FF"
Background variant. Text overlays take a solid background; the other ClipBackground variants are not supported behind text.
solid "solid"
Shape of the solid background behind the text.
none, regular, squircle "squircle"
Hex color in #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA form. Responses use uppercase #RRGGBBAA.
^#(?:[0-9A-Fa-f]{6}|[0-9A-Fa-f]{8})$"#FFFFFFFF"
"Space Grotesk"
Font size relative to the editor's default (7.5% of the canvas's shorter side): 1 is the default, 0.6 a caption, 1.4 a headline. Presets are video-independent, so this is a scale rather than pixels; adding an overlay resolves it for the video it lands on.
x > 00.6
600
100
Color of the outline (stroke) drawn around the letters, or null for no outline.
^#(?:[0-9A-Fa-f]{6}|[0-9A-Fa-f]{8})$"#000000FF"
Horizontal alignment of the text inside its overlay box.
