Tips for adding animated text to your videos
Less is more
When adding animated text to your videos, the golden rule is not to overwhelm your viewers with text. Instead, use it as a complementary instrument and only post the essential information.
Stick to two fonts
Do you want to use a fancy font for your text on video? While sophisticated fonts might look great in print, they might be difficult to read in a video. It’s a good idea to stick to just two simpler fonts that your audience will be able to read quickly enough.
Give your readers enough time to read the text
Make sure your animated text stays on the screen long enough for your audience to grasp it. Don’t move on to the next scene too fast.
Don’t use too many different text animation styles
While it is possible to use 24 different animations in the Wave.video animated text generator, it’s best to stick to just one or two text animation styles for one video. Otherwise, your audience might feel overwhelmed, and it will be harder to focus on the message.
Be consistent with your colors
If your animated text comes with decorations (i.e., frames, highlights, background), it’s a good idea to stay consistent with your text colors throughout the video. The rule of thumb is to go with your brand colors. But there is always room for experiment!
