Tik Tok is a popular platform for creating videos. For several years now, this application has been the most popular in the world. Users who create content design it with various special effects, and also add captions to the video itself. This is done in order to explain the essence of the video, or add a new meaning to it. In this article, we will learn how to insert words into Tik Tok videos.
Why write in commercials
First of all, the text in the videos attracts attention. Thanks to this technique, users can tell a funny story, create a humorous video, answer a question.
The ability to write in their videos gives users a chance to explain a difficult moment, draw the attention of viewers to small things, add some intrigue to the video, and so on.
What the text might look like
When a blogger edits a video and adds captions, he wants them to look attractive. To do this, from video to video, he can change their font, color, size, as well as the location of this text inside the video. TikTok allows users to arrange text in such and such a way that each video can emphasize its uniqueness.
We have the right to align text to the center or to any of the edges. To do this, just click on the text icon while editing the video. And then, see a small navigation menu, where each button is responsible for its action. For example, the “A” button allows you to change the text to transparent or larger. Just tap on this button. Also here we can change the font.
Types of available fonts
TikTok doesn’t have many types of writing available, but the ones that are there you might like:
- classic – classic;
- typewriter – typewriter;
- handwriting;
- neon — neon highlight.
Each of them can be a wonderful decoration for your video.
How to add text
Finally, let’s talk about how to add any text to the video during editing. To do this, we do the following:
- Go to Tik Tok and register or authorize your account.
- Click on the plus icon in the bottom menu.
- We are transferred to the Tik Tok camera, where we can either shoot a new video or upload it by tapping on the gallery button in the lower right corner.
- Once the video is ready, click “Next” and go to edit mode.
- At the very bottom we will see the button “Text“, click on it.
- Now we can write whatever we want, choose any font, mode, color and so on.
After you have written your thought, the result is saved with the “Done” button on top.
When the text appears on the screen, we have the right to drag it to any corner, rotate and position it as we wish. We can even pinch the text with our finger to set the duration for which it appears and disappears from the screen. Thus, we can swap the text in places, exposing each new written fragment to its own time.
Hint
When adding an inscription, keep in mind the fact that when watching your video, other people will see not only the video, but also the buttons for likes, comments on the side, your nickname and description for the video at the bottom of the screen. Therefore, place everything you write at the top or in the center of the video so that it can be easily read.
If this is not done, then, most likely, no one will read your text. Tik Tok come to relax, not try to proofread what you wrote.
Also, do not forget that it is better to keep everything short and concise, so that it is interesting to read, and the font should not be too small, again, for ease of reading.
The color of the letters should be different from the background, otherwise everything can merge, and reading will again become difficult. When transitioning from one text to another, leave at least half a second for it to change so that one part of the text does not overlap with another.
How to remove text
You may have changed your mind or made a mistake. In this case, we can delete everything written by you. To do this, hold down the text that you see on the screen, and then slowly drag it to the trash can icon at the top.As soon as the text under your finger starts to disappear, immediately release it. He will disappear from the screen forever.
How to create more unusual lettering
The functions for creating text in TikTok are quite limited. Everything we talked about is available at any time. Well, what if the user would really like to do something unusual?
This may require third-party programs. You have the following software to choose from: KineMaster, Movavi, InShot and so on.
They are easy enough to understand. And if you do this, then you will have the opportunity to make your content even more attractive. You can add effects directly to the text: it will become brighter, it will smoothly flow across the screen, change color, and more.
Download the editor you like to your device (including a PC), and try to create new masterpieces, add text there.
Summary
Be sure to work out not only the picture, but also the plot, the meaning of the video. Text is a very important part of any content. If you decide to add it, keep in mind that work on it must be done in full.
