Text is an important part of the structure of a video.
It can be used to set a scene, change a chapter or introduce new information Like this: 

In SPlice, there are 2 text tools first lets look at

How to add Titles in the Splice App

The titles tool is found on the main menu.

When you hit this button it will automatically add a black-space filler and a line of generic text in the second layer.

Let’s break that down slowly down.

Tap to add title

The space filler is added here.

You can change the background colour if you wish.

I’m going to make it white.

At the top in the preview window, is where you can control the visual part of the text.

Just tap on the writing ONCE to activate the text submenu.

Here you can adjust
What to write
What font to use
What size
What alignment
& choose colours for the text

To move the text around around just hit the yellow box and drag your finger.

Double tap on the yellow box to quickly change the text.

Next we will look at the timeline to adjust when the text should be visible.

When we add text it places it in a second parallel timeline. 

The Splice editor has two of these, one for music & the other for text.

When selected, highlighted, you can trim and lengthen and even move the text to another part of the timeline.

By moving the text off of the black-space-filler you are technically turning it into a subtitle.

Adding subtitles to splice video

Subtitles are, as just explained, just text over the video.

You can use these to introduce a location or a person.

You can also add actual subtitles to match speech, if you are so inclined, but I suggest you make use of an intelligent app that will do the work for you.

Youtube can do this for you.

If you want to add text without automatically adding the black space filler then you can select the Text option in the main menu.

You can edit and manipulate this exactly the same as explained in the previous section.  

Let us know where you might be getting stuck with the text tool.
