Video text editor

There are various reasons why you might want to make a video with text. For example, to fit your project with embedded open captions, which can’t be turned off. This type of subtitle usually provides some additional information or comments or translates the speech into another language. Another option — text on a video may serve as a logo or a watermark, to differentiate your pieces of visual art from other projects.

As soon as you start wondering how to add text to a video, you’ll find out that you can’t do it with the help of standard software, and you’ll need to download and install special apps. However, we have a better solution.

Clideo’s video text editor can perform various functions: apart from adding and editing captions, it can also alter the visual’s duration, playback speed, color palette, brightness and opacity, aspect ratio, and other characteristics. The tool works online, so it does not cause compatibility issues and doesn’t exhaust local device memory.

Follow this short instruction on how to put text on a video in three steps.
