Add text to video
Overlay titles or descriptions on a video and adjust the font, color, size, and background. You can set the position and display time for each text item, check readability in the preview, and save a video with the text burned into the image.

Enter text and adjust its font, size, color, and background to suit the video.
Specify display timing for each text item
Add multiple text items and change each one's display start, end, and placement.
Save a video that includes the text
Text is composited into the video, so it appears in the same scenes in the saved video too.

Display product names or scene descriptions at the times needed.

Display timing, readability, and burning text into video
Text display times are timestamps within the video
Text appears only between the start and end times. To show multiple text items at different times, switch the item being edited and set each individually.
Check readability even when the background changes
Adjust the text's color, size, and background, and play the video to check that it remains readable in bright scenes or scenes with movement.
Text is burned into the video when saved
After saving the video, you cannot hide just the text. This feature is separate from subtitle file format conversion and automatic transcription.
