Design for a phone screen
Keep titles brief and use enough contrast against the footage. Preview the video at a small size to check that your message is still easy to read.
Video editing
Add words that belong in the frame
Introduce a scene, name a product or finish with a call to action. Create a text overlay and decide exactly where and when viewers see it.

How it works
- 01
Write your text
Open Text in the editor and enter your title or short message.
- 02
Set the appearance
Choose a font, then position and scale the text in the preview.
- 03
Time the overlay
Move the text clip on the timeline and adjust its edges to set how long it stays visible.
Titles are different from automatic captions
This workflow adds text that you write yourself. It is useful for headings, labels and manually timed captions; it does not automatically transcribe speech.
Questions before you start
Can I move text around the video?
Yes. Select the text in the preview and drag it into position. Use the grid to help align it.
Can I put text over more than one scene?
Yes. Extend the text clip across the scenes where it should remain visible.
