  • Make text Bold, Italic, or Underlined

  • Change the font family

  • Adjust the text size

  • Change the text color

  • Reposition the text within its canvas box

  • Adjust line height and letter spacing


Change the Text color

  1. Select the text element in your scene.

  2. In the inspector panel, select Font color.

  3. Choose your desired color or select the gradient option from the palette.

💡 Did you know setting up your Brand Kit automatically applies your company’s colors, fonts, and logo across all new videos? — helping you stay on-brand without having to restyle every scene manually.


Add Superscript or Subscript Text

You can mark text in the canvas as superscript or subscript. This is useful for trademarks (™, ®), footnote markers, and chemical formulas.

  1. Select the text element in your scene.

  2. In the inspector panel, select the text you want to format.

  3. Choose Superscript or Subscript from the text settings.
