Adding Text to a Scene

Overview

This article provides guidelines on how to add on-screen text to a scene.

If you are creating your video from scratch, the text placeholders in the scenes will be empty. If you are starting with a Story Template, the text placeholders will have prewritten text. You can keep the text as is or edit it according to your preferences.

Once added, the text can be formatted using a variety of options.

The guidelines in this article apply to a video that is not personalized.
