How to add Animated Text to Video using Kinemaster?

To create animated text in a video using Kinemaster, follow these steps.

1. Install and Open Kinemaster

The first step in creating animated text is to install Kinemaster on your device. It’s available for both Android and iOS devices. Once installed, open the app. If this is your first time using it, you may need to sign in or skip this step. Upon opening Kinemaster, you’ll be presented with the home screen where you can create a new project.

2. Add a New Project

Once Kinemaster is open, tap the “+” button in the center of the screen to start a new project. You’ll be prompted to choose the aspect ratio of your video. This depends on where you plan to share the video. Common options include:

• 16:9 for YouTube, Vimeo, or other wide-screen platforms.
• 9:16 for Instagram Stories, TikTok, or similar vertical video platforms.
• 1:1 for Instagram posts or other square video formats. After selecting the aspect ratio, the project timeline opens, and you can start adding content.

3. Add Background

Before adding the animated text, it’s important to set up a background for your video. Tap on the “Media” button at the left of the timeline to add a background image or video clip. This could be a static image, a video clip, or even a solid color. For a solid color, tap on the “Layer” option at the top of the screen, then select “Color.” You can pick any color or gradient that fits the theme of your video. You can also import background footage that complements your text animation, making the video more dynamic.

4. Add Text

Once the background is ready, it’s time to add text. Tap on “Layer” at the top of the screen and then choose “Text.” A text box will appear where you can type your desired message. After entering your text, you can adjust its font, size, color, and alignment using the options at the bottom of the screen. You can also drag the text to reposition it anywhere on the screen. This step is crucial for customizing your text to match the style and feel you want for your video.

5. Animate the Text

To create animation for your text, tap on the text layer in the timeline. Then, select the “In” or “Out” buttons to add entrance or exit animations. Kinemaster provides a variety of pre-set animations such as fade, zoom, slide, and bounce, which you can apply to make the text appear or disappear in an engaging way. You can also adjust the speed and timing of the animation by dragging the text layer along the timeline to change when the animation starts and ends. By adjusting these settings, you can ensure that the text appears at the right moment in your video.

6. Add More Animations (Optional)

In addition to basic entrance and exit animations, Kinemaster allows you to add additional effects to your text, making the animation even more dynamic. Tap on the text layer again and select the “Animation” button to explore other options. You can add effects such as “Bounce,” “Zoom,” or “Slide” in different directions. Additionally, Kinemaster offers a feature called “Keyframes,” which allows you to animate the text manually. For example, you can make the text move from one position to another, change its size, or rotate it throughout the video. To do this, you’ll need to set keyframes at different points on the timeline to control how the text evolves over time.

7. Preview and Adjust

Once you’ve added your animations, it’s time to preview the video. Tap the play button in the preview window to see how the text appears and moves throughout the video. If necessary, make adjustments to the timing of the animations, change the text style, or add more effects to improve the flow. You can also adjust the speed and duration of animations by dragging the ends of the text layer in the timeline. This step ensures that your animated text looks smooth and is in sync with the overall video.

8. Export the Video

When you’re satisfied with your animated text and video, it’s time to export it. Tap on the “Export” button in the upper-right corner of the screen. Kinemaster will give you options for resolution (e.g., 720p, 1080p) and frame rate (e.g., 30fps, 60fps). Select the settings that best fit your needs and tap “Export” to render your video. Once the video has finished exporting, it will be saved to your device’s gallery or media library, ready to be shared on your preferred platform.

By following these detailed steps, you can easily create stunning videos with animated text in Kinemaster. This feature is great for adding visual interest to your content, whether you’re creating tutorials, promotional videos, or social media posts.
