Frequently Asked Questions
- What does auto overlay text to video mean?
It means using AI to add text elements directly on top of your video for emphasis, context, reactions or visual storytelling—not to create subtitles.
- Can I control where the text overlays appear?
Yes. You can describe placement, timing, style and density, then refine the text overlays with additional prompts.
- What video formats are supported?
Our tool supports common video formats including MP4, MOV and more.
- Is this different from adding subtitles?
Yes. This workflow is designed for creative text overlays such as callouts, labels, reactions, emphasis and decorative elements rather than transcript-based subtitles.
- Is there a free option?
We offer a free option with limited features. Premium options are available for advanced features and longer videos.
