Demo summary

The demo covers adding text, changing fonts, adjusting letter spacing, and applying a typewriter 'In' animation to titles.

Step-by-step

  1. Click the 'T' button and select 'Quick Text' to add a text layer
  2. Type your text into the text box
  3. Select a font from the dropdown menu and adjust the size
  4. Adjust the 'Letter Spacing' slider to increase or decrease the gap between characters
  5. Go to the 'Animation' tab and select 'In'
  6. Choose the 'Typewriter' animation to apply it to the text

Options

  • Use pre-designed text presets (e.g., LGBTQ colors)
  • Apply Bold, Italic, or Underline formatting
  • Use the alignment tool to snap text to corners or the center
  • Enable a background for the text and adjust its spread and corner radius
  • Apply 'Out' or 'Loop' animations

Tips

  • Increasing letter spacing can make the text look more cinematic
  • Use white text on dark backgrounds for better visibility
  • Increase the background radius to make the text box look circular
  • Apply In and Out animations so the text doesn't just appear and disappear randomly
