Learn the editing Basics of CapCut part 2

Hey everyone! So glad you're here because we're diving into one of my absolute favorite CapCut features: text overlay! Seriously, once you get the hang of adding and editing text, your videos will go from good to absolutely amazing. I know editing can feel a bit much at first, but trust me, text overlay is super straightforward and incredibly powerful for making your content stand out. Let's start with the basics. To add text in CapCut, it’s super simple. Just tap on the 'Text' icon at the bottom of your screen. From there, you can type whatever you want. I often use this for titles, quick explanations, or even just adding a fun emoji! Once your text is on the screen, you'll see a bunch of options pop up. This is where the magic happens! First up, Fonts and Styles. CapCut has a fantastic library of fonts that can totally change the vibe of your message. Play around with them! I usually pick something clear and readable. You can also customize the style – think bold, italic, underline, and changing the color. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations to match your video's aesthetic. There are also cool effects that can give your text a glow or a shadow, making it pop even more. Now, for the really fun part: Animations! This is how you make your text move and grab attention. CapCut offers a ton of animation options, from simple fades and slides to more dynamic entrances and exits. I love using a subtle 'Pull In' or 'Slide Left' for introductions. Remember to adjust the timing of your animations so they appear and disappear exactly when you want them to. You can find these options under the 'Animations' tab once your text is selected. Another game-changer is Auto Captions. If you're doing a voiceover or speaking directly in your video, auto captions are a lifesaver! Just tap 'Text' and then 'Auto captions'. CapCut will automatically generate captions for your audio. You can then go back and edit captions for accuracy, change their style, and even split them if they're too long. This makes your videos much more accessible and engaging. I've also found that using templates for text can save a lot of time, especially if you want a consistent look across several videos. CapCut has pre-made text templates that look professional and are easy to customize. Just replace the placeholder text with your own! When you're happy with your text, remember to position it well on the screen. Avoid placing it over important visual elements, and always consider how it will look on different screen sizes. You can easily drag and resize your text box. You might even want to use the 'Split' tool to perfectly time when your text appears and disappears, or to apply different effects to different segments of your text. Finally, once your masterpiece is done, you can hit 'Export'. Learning these text overlay basics will really elevate your CapCut editing skills. Keep practicing, and you'll be creating stunning videos with perfect text in no time!
