How to add text to a video

  1. Drop a video into the box, or click to choose one.
  2. Type your caption, then choose whether it sits at the top or bottom.
  3. Set the size and colour. The text has a dark outline so it stays readable on bright scenes.
  4. Set the Start and End to choose which part of the video to keep.
  5. Press Add text and download. The clip plays through while the new file is recorded.

Tips

  • Keep captions short, and check they don't cover faces or important action.
  • Use a larger size for titles and a smaller one for subtitles.
  • The caption stays on screen for the whole clip. To show it only for part of the video, trim to that part first with the trim tool.
