Before we dive into the magical realm of animated text effects, let’s start with the basics. Download and install CapCut from your preferred app store and get familiar with its user-friendly interface. It won’t take long for you to get the hang of it. I’ve been experimenting with the app on my Android phone, and my MacBook and I’ve learned the basics almost immediately. You can get the app from the App Store (for iOS) or the Google Play Store (for Android) and get started within a few seconds.
After installation, import the video you want to edit. On the main screen, you will find a plus sign. Click on it to create a new project. By tapping the text icon at the bottom of the screen and entering the text you want to include in the video, you can add text to your video from this point on.
Choosing the Perfect Font and Position

Fonts play a vital role in creating an impactful animation. CapCut offers a wide range of stylish fonts to choose from, so take your time and experiment with different options until you find the one that suits your video’s theme and tone.
Then, do not forget to position the text at the desired position on the screen. To position it, simply drag the text box to the place you want. After positioning, resizing is the next step. Pinch and zoom with two fingers to make it fit perfectly within the frame.
Apply Animation Effects

Open the animation effects menu by tapping on the text layer in the timeline at the bottom of the screen to select it. Then, tap on the “Animation” icon, represented by a star at the bottom of the screen. Once the menu is open, you will find a variety of animation options. Below are some popular ones you can try:
- Animate with Motion: Now comes the exciting part! CapCut allows you to bring your text to life by adding motion to it. Select the text you want to animate, and in the “Edit” section, tap on “Animation.” Explore the various animation styles available, such as slide, fade, bounce, and more.
Watch as your text moves across the screen, creating a captivating visual experience. To enhance these visuals, ensure the background of your video is clear. Use the video background remover to edit out unnecessary visuals in the background.
- Play with Timing and Duration: To enhance the impact of your animated text, timing is everything. Experiment with the duration of each animation to ensure it matches the pace of your video. A longer duration can create a dramatic effect, while a quick animation adds a punchy flair. Let your creativity flow and find the perfect timing for each text element.
- Add a Splash of Color: Don’t settle for monotone text when you can make it vibrant and eye-catching. CapCut enables you to add color to your animated text. Explore the color options and experiment with gradients, shadows, and even color-changing effects. Mix and match until you find the perfect color palette that complements your video’s overall aesthetic.
