Adding text to a video should feel quick and intuitive. Build clear headlines, call out key moments, and generate captions from your browser. With a drag-and-drop editor, polished content comes together in minutes, not hours.

Add text to create captivating marketing videos

Videos hold attention longer when viewers can read along. Add eye-catching headings and captions to product launches, share useful business details, and make your call to action impossible to miss. Combine motion with your footage to spotlight key features or bring customer stories to life. With Vidione, you can also guide viewers from a shared video directly to your website or social page.

Simple drag-and-drop video text editor

Create polished text overlays with a simple drag-and-drop workflow. Type your message, extend clips on the timeline, and reposition words directly on the canvas. Choose from animation presets to make your text pop, or add dynamic captions with automatic word highlighting and effects. Captions can pulse, glide, or scale in sync with speech—just click, type, and customize.

Content creator preparing consistent branded video assets at home

Look professional with consistent text across videos

Adding text is easy. Making it feel consistent across every video is harder. Vidione's Brand Kit lets you save fonts, colors, and logos once, then apply them across your projects. No more off-brand type or mismatched palettes. Build cohesive content for Instagram, YouTube, professional networks, or anywhere else you publish.
