Text layersCreate separate title clips for words, lines, and scenes.
KeyframesAnimate supported visual properties over time.
Motion workspaceSwitch to Motion Design for dedicated compositions and text animation tools.

Start with editable text

Opens a 16:9 project on the Text panel.

Local
Video editor with a large editable title over footage and a text clip on the timeline

Requires a current desktop browser. No account is required.

Choose the right animation depth

Use the video editor for text over footage and timeline-based timing. Use Motion Design when the title animation itself is the main composition and needs more dedicated controls.

Local editing: Imported source media stays on this device while you work in the editor.

How to make an animated text video

Create the text layers

Open Text and add the title presets needed for the sequence.

Set the visual style

Edit the words, font, size, color, outline, and placement for each layer.

Build the timing

Move and trim text clips, then use keyframes or Motion Design for animated changes.

Preview and export

Play the full title sequence, check readability, and export the final video.

Ways to use this workflow

Title sequence

Reveal a video title across several timed text layers.

Kinetic quote

Break a short quote into paced, editable phrases.

Social opener

Create a fast text-led introduction before the main footage.

Browser limit: Keep each message short enough to read at normal playback speed. Advanced motion work benefits from a desktop browser with graphics acceleration.

Frequently asked questions

Can I animate text over a video?

Yes. Add text above the video, control its timeline duration, and use supported keyframe or motion controls.

What is the difference between Video Editor and Motion Design?

Video Editor is best for text layered over footage. Motion Design is intended for dedicated animated compositions.

Can I use multiple text styles?

Yes. Each text clip can have its own content, font, size, color, outline, and timing.

Does export include a watermark?

No. VideoToolDeck does not add its own watermark to the exported video.
