Font selection

Choose from sans-serif, serif, monospace, Georgia, Impact, Courier New, Arial Black, and Trebuchet MS. More fonts coming soon.

Color & background

Pick any text color and optional background color with opacity. Create high-contrast subtitles or subtle watermarks.

Precise positioning

Drag text directly on the video preview to position it. Resize by dragging corners. Fine-tune in the properties panel.

Animations

Fade in, slide up, or typewriter effect. Each text clip can have its own animation with automatic timing.

Multiple layers

Add as many text tracks as you need. Layer titles over captions over lower thirds — each on its own track.

Timeline control

Every text element is a clip on the timeline. Drag to move, trim edges to adjust duration, split to break apart.
