How to Add Moving Text to a Video

Upload Your Video

Import footage from your computer, phone, or cloud storage.

Add and Animate Text

Go to the Text tab, type your text in, and animate it in whatever style you want.

Export and Share

Once you’re happy with the animation, click Export to download and share the video.

Style Your Animated Text However You Like

Customize Every Detail

Personalize text colors, sizes, and effects to match your brand aesthetic or message. Flixier lets you fine tune every aspect of what the text looks like so it always feels like it belongs.

Work with Any Format

Add text to any video you're working on, whether it's a short clip for socials or a longer YouTube upload, and export it in MP4 so it always stays compatible with any platform.

Choose from a Font Library

Pick your favorite from Flixier's over 1900 built-in fonts instead of hunting one down and installing it yourself, so you can get straight to styling and animating your text.

Mix in Other Elements

Combine your animated text with fun stickers, sound effects, or eye-catching video transitions. In this way, the entire video will feel put together rather than like text dropped on top of a plain clip.

Grab Your Audience’s Attention

Text that moves keeps viewers watching longer than static captions, since it naturally draws the eye as the video plays.

How do I add moving text to a video?

Upload your video to Flixier, open the Text tab, and add a text box to your timeline. Use keyframes to set where the text starts and ends, and Flixier animates the movement between those points for you.

How do I add scrolling text like end credits?

Add a text box to your timeline, then use keyframes to move it from the bottom of the frame to the top over time, creating a scrolling effect like traditional movie credits.

Can I make text follow something in the video?

Yes, using manual keyframing. Set the text's position at different points on the timeline, and Flixier moves it smoothly between those points to track your subject as it moves.

What fonts can I use?

Flixier has a built-in font library you can choose from, so you don't need to install or upload your own fonts before adding text to your video.

Is Flixier free to use?

Flixier has a free plan that allows for up to 2GB of storage, 10 minutes of exports, and 5 minutes of subtitles per month. If you need more, there are also paid subscriptions available that offer more, and even some unlimited options. Check out our pricing plans for more information.
