Add text to any video the easy way with Descript. Just upload your video or record your webcam, get an automatic transcript, and highlight the moments where you want to add text or animated captions in your choice of colors, fonts, backgrounds, animations, and styles.
Get started ->
Drop your video file into a Descript project to upload and transcribe it. You can use this transcript to edit your video, generate captions, and highlight the moments where you want to add text overlays or create title scenes.
Navigate to the text tool and click on the area of the video where you want the text to appear. Type your desired text into the textbox that appears on screen. You can adjust the font, size, color, and positioning of the text to match the style and tone of your video. Use the text settings to fine-tune the appearance.
Make any final adjustments to the text or video as needed. When satisfied, export your video by choosing the appropriate file format and resolution. You can then download the finished video to your device or share it directly from Descript to your desired platform.
