## FAQ

### How should I prepare a video for Add Text to Video?

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.

### Where can custom text appear on my video?

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.

### What makes on-screen text readable in a video?

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.

### What should I confirm before publishing text added to a video?

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.

### What does Add Text to Video actually change in my footage?

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.

### How do I keep the original subject readable after the Add Text to Video edit?

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.
