QUICK ANSWERS

Add Text to Video FAQ

Is the text permanently visible?

Yes. The overlay is burned into the exported video rather than stored as a selectable subtitle track.

Will my existing audio remain?

Yes. The video's existing audio is retained when an audio stream is present.

Can I use punctuation in my text?

Yes. VideoHop stores the entered text in a temporary UTF-8 text file rather than inserting it directly into the FFmpeg filter expression.
