How to Add Text to YouTube Videos in 3 Steps

We will show you how to add words to a YouTube video using the Keevi free online tool. And your text does not need to be dull. By using Keevi’s text customization features, you can make your YouTube video engaging and unforgettable.

Our quick tutorial will cover two types of videos that you can add text to:
An existing YouTube video - You have a video on your YouTube channel that needs a minor enhancement using text.
A video in your system- You have a video on your computer that you want to upload to YouTube, but you need to add some text to it first.

Upload or Extract Your Video

On Keevi’s upload panel, click on the ‘Browse’ button to upload your video. If the video is already on YouTube, enter the YouTube link in the panel at the bottom. Keevi will upload the video.

You can then:

  • Resize the video – Go to settings, and under ‘Select Format,’ you get the options to change the video to YouTube format, which you need if the video is from your files. There are also options for square, landscape, and many more.
  • Trim the video - On the timeline, place the pointer on the handles located on the edges of the video that resemble a pause icon. Drag the handle to your preferred start time and end time.    
  • Split your video –Get rid of parts of the video by clicking the start time of the unwanted part and hitting split, then point at the end time of this unwanted part and click split, finally click the delete icon, and the part will be eliminated. 

Pretty handy, right?

Type Your Words

At the top of the video, click on Text in the menu. And then, on the left, click ‘Add New Text.’

You can either use basic text or go a little wild by choosing the animation effects Keevi offers.

The basic text does not mean dull. Liven up your words by: 

  • Changing the font color.
  • Changing the font size.
  • Underlining or bolding the text – or both.
  • Choosing an ideal location for the text by moving it around.

If you prefer animation and its more dramatic effects, simply click on your preferred animation and start typing. Keevi then allows you to:

  • Change the font of the animation.
  • Change the size of the animation.

Once you’re done, you can edit the text if you need to. You can also choose the start and end times of the text by moving the text box on the timeline.  

Adding auto subtitles is also an option. Keevi provides over 30 languages to use in the subtitles. You can also add stickers, GIFs, audio, and images to make your video more appealing. 

Don’t worry about making mistakes. If anything you add to your video doesn’t feel right, select it on the timeline and hit the delete button.

Export

Once you are satisfied with your work, hit ‘Export.’ Keevi will render the video with text within seconds.

You can either:

  • Download the video on your computer.
  • Push the video to YouTube directly.
