Add titles and text.

You can add informative text to any video clip or photo in the timeline. Use titles to introduce a topic, identify a person, define a term, or add context to what’s onscreen.

Try it.

Add a title to a clip. Select the clip in the timeline, then tap Title button in the inspector. Tap a title style to apply it.

Apply it.

  • Enhance viewer interest by identifying interview subjects, objects, or locations. Add a lower-screen title that stays onscreen long enough to read.

  • Increase vocabulary comprehension using titles. Assign a video project that requires students to label important items with titles.

Go further.

If you want a title to appear later in a clip instead of at the beginning, the trick is to split the clip into sections, then add the title to the section you want.
