How to use this asset and frequently asked questions
How to use this asset+
This 1080x1080 transparent video asset is 3 seconds long and exports in WebM (with alpha channel) and ProRes 4444 formats.
Premiere Pro: Place on a track above your footage in the timeline. Use Effect Controls > Motion > Position to place text at your target screen location. Use Time Remapping to speed up or slow down the animation.
DaVinci Resolve: Drop on a track above footage in the Edit page. Use the Inspector > Transform panel for position adjustments. For advanced tweaks, open the Fusion page to modify text node properties.
Final Cut Pro: Add above your primary storyline. Click the clip in the Inspector to reveal text parameters. Use the Transform tool in the viewer to reposition.
CapCut: Add as an overlay. Tap the text layer to edit content. Use the canvas handles to position, and the timeline to set duration.
Tips
- Time the text entrance to match a word or beat in your voiceover — synchronized text and audio is more impactful than offset placement.
- Keep text on screen long enough to read it twice. A rough rule: 1 second per 3 words minimum.
- Use glitch or distortion text animations for emphasis moments rather than continuously — sparingly used effects have more impact.
Frequently asked questions+
Can I change the text content in a text animation?
Yes — use the workspace editor before rendering. All text fields are exposed as configurable parameters.
Can I use glitch text animations on a transparent background?
Yes. These export as WebM with alpha channel, so you can composite over any background or footage without a solid fill.
How do I sync text animations with my voiceover?
Set the in-point of the text clip in your timeline to match the spoken word in your audio. Nudge by individual frames for tight sync.
Is this asset free to use?
