Add Text to Video frequently asked questions
Add Text to Video FAQ covers a source-video edit with intentional on-screen text, choose source media and describe the text, position, timing, hierarchy, and audience, preview checks, and use source footage and text, names, and marks that you are allowed to publish.
Upload the source video and decide what the text must communicate: a title, callout, name, or short message. Keep the wording concise, use readable contrast, and choose whether the text belongs at the top, center, or bottom.
Place custom text at the top, center, or bottom of the frame. Pick the position that avoids faces, existing captions, and important objects, then watch the preview to make sure the text remains within the frame.
Use short lines, sufficient contrast, and a size that works on a phone. Keep text away from busy edges and action, check spelling and timing, and make sure the message does not disappear before viewers can read it.
Review the full source video with the text visible at every intended moment. Confirm the wording is accurate, the placement does not conceal the footage, and you have permission to edit and publish the underlying video.
Add Text to Video is a Listnr Studio edit for a source-video edit with intentional on-screen text. You bring source media you are allowed to change, describe the intended result, and continue in the editor. This public page only prepares that brief.
Keep the source subject, faces, and any on-screen type inside the frame after the change. Describe only the intended treatment so Listnr Studio does not invent a different event than the footage shows. Review that choice on the Add Text to Video timeline in Listnr Studio.
Captions start on so speech, names, and key claims stay readable if someone watches without sound. You can restyle them in Listnr Studio after you check line breaks. Match the voice to the audience, then check pronunciation against the on-screen lines before you share. Review that choice on the Add Text to Video timeline in Listnr Studio.
Music is optional. If you add a bed, keep it under the voice so the message still lands on mute, and use a track you are allowed to publish. Skip a bed if speech, ASMR texture, or classroom instruction needs the mix dry. Review that choice on the Add Text to Video timeline in Listnr Studio.
Pick the aspect ratio Studio exposes for the project (portrait 9:16, landscape 16:9, square 1:1, or feed 4:5) so the destination and the frame agree. After generation, confirm logos and the main action still read at that size. Review that choice on the Add Text to Video timeline in Listnr Studio.
Yes. Open the project in Listnr Studio and revise timing, overlays, captions, crop, and audio. Compare the edited cut with your original brief so the message, names, and source facts stay intact. Review that choice on the Add Text to Video timeline in Listnr Studio.
