In today’s quick CapCut tutorial, I walk you through exactly how to add text on top of your video using CapCut’s text feature. I start with the simplest workflow: grabbing the default text option, dropping it onto the timeline above your clip, and then moving it anywhere you want so the timing lines up with your edit. Once it’s on the timeline, you’ve got a dedicated text layer you can drag, trim, and reposition over any clip. From there, I show you how to make that “default” text actually look good. I double-click to edit the wording, then run through the core settings on the right—font selection, font size, bold/underline/italic, case changes, color, alignment, and opacity (which is great if you want the text to fade into the background a bit). I also demo preset styles for quick layering, plus the Bubble/background options that give your text a built-in label or comic-style look. Finally, I jump into text effects so your titles can feel more alive, and I wrap up with a simple tip: you can click, hold, and drag the text box directly in the preview until it sits exactly where you want on screen. All of this works in the free version, and the same ideas carry over to mobile too.
