Text, titles & templates

Add text and title styles

Left panel › Text

Drop a title onto the timeline and pick from ready-made title styles.

1. Open the Text tab and click Add text.
2. Choose a title style, then edit the wording directly.
3. Set size and color, and position it in the preview.

Import your own fonts

Left panel › Text › Import a font

Use brand or custom fonts by importing them into the project.

1. Click Import a font (.ttf / .otf).
2. Pick the font file; it becomes available for your titles.

If a project is opened on a machine that is missing a font, text falls back to another font and the pre-export checks warn you.

Text animations

Inspector › Entrance / Exit animation

Give titles motion with entrance and exit animations, plus a karaoke style for captions.

1. Select a text clip.
2. Choose an Entrance animation (fade, slide, pop, rise, fly, zoom, spin, bounce and more) and an Exit animation.
3. For subtitles, pick a Karaoke style so the current word highlights in time.

Templates

Left panel › Templates

Templates place video slots and titles in a preset layout, so you just fill in your footage.

1. Open the Templates tab and click a template to add it: it places video slots plus titles.
2. Drag your videos from the Media library onto the slots; each is trimmed to the slot's length.
3. Set where in the video the slot starts, then place it.

Save your own arrangement of text clips as a template (.cftemplate) from the right-click menu, and import templates others share.

Stickers

Left panel › Stickers

Add graphic stickers for social-style overlays.

1. Open the Stickers tab.
2. Click Add sticker to drop one onto the timeline, then position it in the preview.
