Steps to add text to a video using Camtasia Studio
The first thing is to have our project open, otherwise we must press the “Import media” button on the main toolbar; then we click on the “Callouts” button located in the task list, we will immediately see that the options are shown in the upper left panel and where it says “Shape”, we display its list by clicking on the scroll.
In the “Special” section, an icon with a letter T will be displayed, referring to “Text”, we click on it. And at the bottom where the timeline is, we will see a new layer or track that represents our text; by default it will be placed at the beginning of the timeline but we can slide it to the point we want.
In the upper panel we will see a gray field where we will write the text that will be shown in the video, it’s that easy and fast! At the top you will see a toolbar with icons like those of Microsoft Word to define its size, font, color, alignment, if we want it underlined, curved or bold, etc.
We can also set the time it takes for the text to appear and disappear in the “Fade in’ and “Fade out” options, which is 1 second by default; The result can be seen in the preview monitor located on the right side of the screen, when we click on the Play button in the shape of a lying triangle.
