Openshot How To Add Text - Quick Tutorial

hi in today's video i'm going to be showing you how to insert text using open shot text editor all right so let's get started first thing you can do is you can add your video let's use this one right here all right then i'm going to drag it down now to insert text into your video all you have to do is double click on title all right and then once you're in title you can choose your style or what kind of text you like my preference out of all of these because they look really dated like some of these if you can't see they look like they're from uh you know maybe like the 80s right it's a bit it's a bit dated but it's free so i can't really complain um i i like the plain white white text the camera border text that's what i'm gonna go for out of all these and maybe maybe bar three all right so that's what i recommend you use all right and then once you are happy with the style of the text you can go ahead and edit it so all right so that's what i want for my text i'm happy with that you can of course go ahead and you change the font let's say i don't really like this spawn style um let me go with modern oh that's a bit no grandmod let me go with that and uh let's go with the text color let's see i don't like the text color go blue and of course you can pick the background color or leave it as is let's try yellow make it high contrast oh black and yellow there you go all right so once you're done with the background color choosing the font style and the font color go ahead and click save all right and it should show up in your project files and then all you need to do is just go ahead and drag it now when you're dragging dragging the uh the text that you want into the video please make sure that it is the above the video right because if you put it below you won't be able to see it so let me show you what i mean by that all right so this is what it looks like okay so then the text shows up right but if i put it underneath then nothing okay so when you're installing the text make sure that the text is above the video now let's say you actually want to see the video and you want the text in the video and you don't want it to be blocked out like this then all you need to do is go ahead and create a text with a transparent background so you just do the same thing go to title and let's use the same let's use a different one all right here let's use this one and then i'll click um let's see ice cream i don't know why don't ask me why oops all right click save bring it down don't don't adjust the background color all right don't set it solid so that way it's still transparent and there you go it pops up right here nice and clean i actually prefer this this one as well all right so those are the two options right if you want to add text within your video okay so i hope this video was helpful i try to make it short sweet and to the point if you found this video helpful it would mean the world to me if you could please hit that like button alright so once again this is vince from digital nomad institute showing you how to add text using open shot video editor i will see you soon
