FOCUS ON WORK
Add text to create captivating marketing videos
Videos grab more attention when viewers can read along. Add eye-catching headings and captions to your product launches, show your business info, and include call-to-action text. Combine animation with your footage to highlight key features or showcase customer testimonials. When sharing videos through VEED's video view page, premium subscribers can add clickable buttons that send viewers directly to their website or social media page.
Simple drag-and-drop video text editor
Create professional text overlays with our simple drag-and-drop interface. Type your text, extend clips on the timeline, and reposition the text on the canvas. You can also choose animation presets to make your text pop. Add dynamic captions with automatic word highlighting and effects. Watch animated captions pulse, glide, or scale in sync with your speech. No complex software or confusing menus—just click, type, and customize.
Look professional with consistent text across videos
Adding text to a video is easy. Making it look consistent across every video is harder. VEED's Brand Kit feature lets you set your fonts, colors, and logos once — then apply them across every video. No more off-brand fonts or mismatched colors. Create cohesive content across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, whether you post once a week or every day.
