Tips for Adding Text and Titles

- Keep It Short: Try to keep your text short. This makes it easier to read.

- Choose Colors Wisely: Make sure your text color stands out against the video. If the background is dark, use light colors.

- Use Simple Fonts: Simple fonts are easy to read. Avoid very fancy fonts that are hard to see.

- Don’t Overdo It: Too much text can be distracting. Use text when necessary but don’t add it everywhere.
