📌 Why this matters

Adding text to your videos transforms them from simple recordings into professional content that communicates clearly with your audience. Text overlays let you highlight key points, add context, or guide viewers through complex information without relying solely on audio.

Beyond basic messaging, strategically placed text creates accessibility for hearing-impaired viewers and makes your content searchable and shareable on social platforms. You can also use text to brand your videos consistently, establish visual hierarchy, and ensure your message lands even when viewers watch with sound off.
