In Wave.video, you can style up your text on video just the way you want it. Here are the editing options you have:

1. Change the font

5. Change the font size and weight

6. Move the text location on the canvas

In order to start customizing your text, head over to the step "Edit" and select the text on the canvas.

To change the font of your text message, head over to the drop-down menu with the names of the fonts.

There are 300+ Google fonts available in Wave.video. Scroll down the menu to find the font you need. The text font will change automatically on the video.

At the very top of the list, you can find the fonts that you have already used in the project. It makes it more convenient to find the fonts to reuse them in the same project.

Below the project fonts, you can find Brand Fonts. These are the fonts you have preselected for your brand. Learn more about the Branding feature here.

If you want to add a font to your brand for easier access, you can simply click the star sign next to it. This will make the font appear at the top of the drop-down list.

You can also filter the fonts available for certain alphabets, including Vietnamese, Cyrillic, Greek, Korean, Devanagari, Japanese, Gujarati, Thai, and Chinese.
