Adding text to your video footage enhances communication, reinforces key points, and boosts viewer engagement. AI Studios makes it simple to add and customize text to suit your video style and branding.

Getting Started

  1. Locate the Text Menu

    • In AI Studios' video editor, find the Text button on the left-hand side menu bar.

  2. Choose a Text Style

    • After clicking the Text button, a menu will appear with three default text options:

      • Title – Large, bold text for headings.

      • Subtitle – Slightly smaller, secondary text.

      • Body Text – Standard size for paragraphs or descriptions.

    • These preset sizes help simplify text creation, ensuring a cohesive design.


Customizing Text Appearance

  1. Change Font and Highlight Color

    • Click on the text box you want to edit and the text editing tools will appear in a horizontal bar at the top of the video editor where you can customize the text further using the available options:

      • Stroke: Adds an outline around the letters.

      • Font Color: Changes the text color.

      • Highlight/Background Color: Creates a shaded box around the text.

  2. Adjusting Colors

    • There are three ways to adjust text colors:

      • Color Slider Bars: Adjust the hue and lightness.

      • Color Box: Drag the circle within the color gradient box to find the desired shade.

      • Hex Code: Enter a six-character hex code for precise color matching.

    • Using hex codes is great for maintaining brand consistency or working with a specific color palette.

  3. Stroke Customization

    • Use the stroke slider to control the width of the outline around your text.

    • Additional options let you adjust the stroke position, join style, and cap shape.

  4. Highlight/Background Adjustments

    • Padding: Adjust the space between the text and the edge of the highlight box.

    • Corner Radius: Control how rounded the highlight box corners are.

      • A lower value creates sharp corners, while a higher value softens the edges.


Choosing a Font

  • AI Studios offers a wide variety of fonts, from bold and eye-catching to classic and subtle. This ensures flexibility for creative and professional projects.

  • Team Plan Feature: If you're on a team plan, you can import custom fonts to apply to on-screen text. This allows for consistent branding across all video projects.

By leveraging AI Studios' text customization tools, you can create visually appealing and professional videos that align with your brand or creative vision.
