When editing videos, users like to not only add effects, but also attach captions. The meaning of some videos sometimes only lies in the fact that it is written there. Therefore, the article will focus on how to add text to a Tik Tok video. Let’s talk about this in detail.
Step by step
To begin with, we need to record a video or add an already filmed one, this is done in the application’s camera. Once we’ve done that and pressed Continue, we can start editing.
We’ll immediately notice the “Text” button in the bottom menu. We go there, write any phrase that we like, choose the font and text. It is possible to choose how your words will be positioned (on the edge or in the center).
Once we’re happy with everything, select Done, this will add the text to the screen.
As soon as the inscription appeared already in the video, we can choose the duration (up to a second of the appearance and disappearance of words), for this we hold down for one second, and we see two buttons.
One of them allows you to select the duration, and the other returns you to edit mode. If we just hold our finger on the inscription, we will see a wastebasket on top. By moving the inscription there, we can completely remove it from the screen.
What can we do
Rotate text the way you want. You can position it absolutely anywhere on the screen, make it slightly less transparent, and so on. We can replace the inscriptions with each other, adding each its own duration. In this, TikTok does not limit us in everything.
Fonts
TikTok may not please us with an abundance of those, but still there are five different styles of writing:
- Classic — classic business font;
- Typewriter — typewriter style;
- Handwriting – uppercase, does not work in Russian;
- Neon — text with glow stroke;
- Serif – serif business style.
At the moment, out of five fonts with a Russian-language layout, only 3 styles function correctly.
Alternative Applications
If, nevertheless, it’s not enough for you that the official application provides, we can use other equally popular ones: Snapchat, Instagram and InShot. Anyone can download them by going to the store of their operating system. There will be many effects, masks and beautiful fonts to choose from.
Summary
For fans of videos with text, ТТ offers a pretty good opportunity to mount your videos so that you can add any inscriptions or even whole text there. In addition, we can always use third-party applications, and the result can already be uploaded to TT.
