Click Text in the Add to your project row. A caption reading "Text for video" ("Text for image" in the image editor) appears on the canvas, and its settings open in the panel on the right. Type your words in the text box at the top.
Font
Click the font name to open the font menu:
- Search all 190-odd fonts, or pick from In this project (the fonts already in your video) and All fonts below it. Each one is labeled with its kind, and the pills across the top narrow the list to Sans, Serif, Display, Script or Handwritten.
- Style chooses the weight and italics the font offers.
- Letter spacing and Line height % are set to Auto until you change them. Drag the slider or type a number.
Size and alignment
The number under Size is the text size. Sizing next to it sets whether the text size changes when you resize the caption's box: Auto re-wraps the words at the same size, Fixed scales them. The Align menu sets left, center or right.
Colors, frame and shadow
- Text is the color of the letters.
- Frame is a colored box behind the text. Leave it transparent for no box.
- Shadow takes a color of its own, then Hard, Soft and Glow presets, or your own offset and blur. With no frame behind it, the shadow falls on the letters themselves.
Every color menu has the current color with its hex code, an Opacity slider, Your colors (the ones already in the project), a palette of Colors, and colors picked From your photos. Custom opens a color mixer.
