How to add text to a video
Add a video
Drop the file onto the page or choose it on your computer — it opens in the editor.
Add text
Add text and type your caption — it appears on top of the video.
Style it
Choose a style, font and color, and how the text appears. Move and resize it right on the video.
Export
Stretch the text to the time you need and download the video.
Text that looks good
Ready-made styles and your own
Pick a ready-made style — headline, caption or subtitle — or design the text your way: color, size, background, outline and shadow.
A font for every mood
Strict, modern, elegant or handwritten — there’s a font for any video. The text looks the same on every device.
Entrance and exit
Text can fade in, slide in from the side, pop up or type itself out letter by letter — so it catches the eye right away.
When it comes in handy
A title at the start
A big title that pops in — viewers know right away what the video is about.
Captions for scenes
Place and date in a travel video — in the Caption style in a corner of the frame.
Price and call to action
“−30% until Sunday” in an ad — the Outline style reads on any background.
Speaker name
Name and title under the person talking — on a background, appearing word by word.
Steps in a tutorial
“Step 1”, “Step 2” in a recipe or how-to video — each caption appears at its own moment.
Lines at the bottom
Phrases in the Subtitle style — the video makes sense even with the sound off.
