Unlike subtitles or captions, which primarily transcribe dialogue, text overlays aim to emphasize key points, introduce titles, or prompt viewers to take action. This technique is pivotal for social media clips, educational content, and promotional videos, ensuring messages are conveyed clearly, even without sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Use Text Overlays?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Text overlays boost viewer understanding, reinforce crucial messages, and ensure accessibility for those watching without sound. It&#8217;s a game-changer in content creation, making videos more inclusive and effective in delivering their intended message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Add Text Overlays with Visla<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Visla makes it easy to get started with video text overlays. Find out how below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starting Your Project in Visla<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin by launching a new project in Visla. The platform is versatile, accepting various inputs like text, images, or URLs. For instance, creating a video from a recent blog post is as straightforward as selecting &#8220;Blog&#8221;, pasting the URL, and inputting video details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customizing Text in Your Video<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigate to the editing space and open the &#8220;Text&#8221; menu to customize your video&#8217;s header and body text. Visla offers extensive customization options, from text styles to alignment and color, ensuring your video aligns with your brand identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Text Styles and Brand Settings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Adjust global settings for all text blocks or fine-tune individual elements for unique effects, including plain text, highlighted text, and more. Set these preferences at an account level under Brand Settings to maintain consistency across all videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adding and Editing Text Blocks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Easily add new text blocks with the &#8220;T&#8221; icon and edit content to match your brand voice. Visla&#8217;s AI can suggest header and body text, streamlining the content creation process while allowing for custom adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Positioning Your Text<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Decide on the placement of your text within the video for optimal visibility and consistency. Visla enables users to apply text positioning across all scenes or select predefined positions for uniformity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/app.visla.us\/signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try Video Text Overlays Out Today<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there.
