Text Effects2
Text on screen is the cheapest way to make a video clearer, and the easiest to do badly. These animated video graphics give a line of text the entrance it deserves: a kicker, title and subtitle landing in sequence, or a sentence revealed word by word with the key words in the accent color.
What you get
- Headlines: a small kicker line, a big title and a subtitle, entering one after another with an accent underline. Use them as section titles, lower thirds and breaking-news style cards.
- Word reveals: one sentence whose words enter one by one, with the words you choose picked out in the accent color and a pulse.
How it fits into video editing
Type your words, choose which ones to emphasize, pick a theme or your own brand font and colors, and export. The transparent MOV is the natural choice here: the text floats over your footage with nothing behind it. The MP4 works as a full-frame title card between sections.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I use these as lower thirds over my own footage?
- Yes. Export as a transparent MOV, place it on a track above your video and position it where you want. The text animates in over your footage with no background.
- Can I pick which words get the accent color in a word reveal?
- Yes. List the words to emphasize and they take the accent color and a small pulse as they appear. Matching ignores case and punctuation.
- Can the text use my channel's font?
- Yes. Choose a brand font and text size, and the headline or reveal redraws in it before you export.
- How long is a headline clip?
- A few seconds by default, enough for the kicker, title and subtitle to enter and hold. You can change the duration and turn the exit animation on or off before exporting.
