How to Add Text to Video
The best way to add text to your video is to use an online tool like SendShort. Upload your video, then go to the text menu and start typing.
- Upload your video in SendShort
- Go to “Elements” > “Texts“
- Click “Add a new text” > Type something
There you have it. Following the same process, you can add as much text as you need on top of your video.

Edit Text on a Video
To edit text on a video, simply open that project in SendShort and select that text. Click the brush icon to open the editing menu: font, color, size etc.
Once again, you can repeat the process for all the text you need to edit.
Super easy, right?
