Animated text

Titles, figures, lower thirds, lists that build: describe the text and how it should move, and Montage designs it and animates it in your video.

Add text, step by step

  1. In Ask, say what and when: « At 0:05, my name and job at the bottom left », « A big “2 500 000 €” that counts up ».
  2. Say how it moves: « slides in from the left », « pops in word by word ».
  3. Name the font: any Google Fonts family, or your own font file added with + then Add footage.
  4. Watch, then fix it by asking or by commenting on the picture where it is.

Use it again

Ask What you get
« Save this as a component » The piece in your Library, as a little video that plays alone, ready for any video
« Make this a style » Your fonts, colours and way of moving, described in words for every video

To use one, press + then From the Library in the box. Styles and components

Text can be in 3D too: ask for it.

Questions

Does text in Arabic or Hebrew work?

Yes. It is written right to left.

If I change a saved component, do my videos change?

Yes. Every video that uses a component from the Library uses the one kept there.
