Pro Tips for Maximum Impact

Learn the secrets that top video creators use to make their text overlays irresistible.

1

Keep text overlays to 5-7 words maximum for better readability and impact - think of them as video headlines that grab attention in the first 2 seconds.

2

Use high contrast colors (dark text on light backgrounds or vice versa) to ensure your message is readable on any device. Our AI suggests optimal color combinations.

3

Time your text perfectly: appear 0.5 seconds before you mention it in narration and stay visible for 3-4 seconds so viewers can read it twice.

4

Stick to 2-3 consistent fonts across all your videos to build strong brand recognition and create a professional, cohesive look that viewers remember.

5

Position text in the lower third or upper third of your video to avoid covering important visual elements while maintaining readability across all devices.

6

Use animation sparingly but effectively - subtle fade-ins work better than flashy effects that distract from your main content message.

7

Test your text on mobile devices first since 70% of video consumption happens on phones - if it's readable there, it'll work everywhere else too.
