What can you do with text?

46 fonts

Try every font while you edit. 10 export on the free plan and the rest on a paid plan.

Animations

Give text an entrance, an exit or a loop animation.

Layers

Stack several text clips on separate tracks: a title, a label and a caption at once.

Captions too

Need words for speech? Auto captions turn speech into text clips you can restyle like any other.
