How Do I Add Text/Title Slides to My Project?

Updated 1 month ago

A title slide is a full screen of text between clips. Use one to open the Tribute, introduce a group of people, or let a message land on its own.

Make one

  1. Click Edit Media in the right-hand panel.
  2. Click Add Media at the top right, then Add Title.

The title card editor opens. You can set:

  • Text — click Add Text, then choose a font, color, size and alignment. Drag it into position.
  • Duration (seconds) — how long the slide holds on screen.
  • Background — pick a color.

At the bottom you'll find ready-made templates for common occasions — birthdays, thank yous and more. Pick one and change the wording, or choose Custom and build it from scratch.

Click Save.

Where it goes

New slides are added to the end of your timeline. Drag it to wherever it belongs.

Three that always work

  • Open with the recipient's name and the occasion, so the film introduces itself.
  • Separate the groups — “From the office”, “From the grandchildren”.
  • Close with one line from everyone.

Text over a clip instead

If you want words on top of a video or photo rather than on their own screen, see How Do I Add Text onto Individual Videos or Photos?
