Text Overlays

Add professional titles, lower-thirds, and captions to your videos with iviCut's versatile text engine — directly in your browser.

Placement & Resizing

Text elements can be dragged and dropped anywhere on the canvas. iviCut supports two distinct resizing modes:

  • Proportional Resizing: Use corner handles to scale text while maintaining its aspect ratio.
  • Text Reflow: Use side handles to change the text box width, causing the text to wrap and reflow automatically.
  • Precision: Elements snap to grid and snap to center during rotation and movement.

Advanced Styling

Customize your text with deep formatting options:

  • Rich Formatting: Adjust font family, size, color, and weight.
  • Alignment: Control both horizontal (Left / Center / Right) and vertical (Top / Middle / Bottom) positioning.
  • Shadows & Strokes: Add depth with text shadows (adjustable blur and rotation) and customizable outlines.

Background Modes

Control how the background interacts with your text:

  • "Wrap" Mode: The background dynamically hugs the text content.
  • "Fill" Mode: Creates a fixed-size box regardless of text length.
  • Customization: Adjust background color, opacity, corner radius, and padding.

Layer Management

Text overlays appear on orange-themed timeline tracks, making them easy to distinguish from images, shapes, and audio. Stack multiple text elements and manage their layering order on the timeline.
