HI clipchamp can you please tell me if there is any other way to to get more quality than 1080p?

[Oliviaarobloxgurly]

[kerenbanget]

do you have auto generated text feature? auto caption

[rinaherman]

Can I download srt file that I made myself if I have the free package, for free. Is it possible?

[moxep]

Thanks for the tutorial! One question though.
Can you make text have an outline, so it can stand out better?

[kaijiale]

Once I drag the selected Text style into the Timeline, I do not see what you showed in your video which is a very big T box which you can click on the right end to drag and expand the text across to the entire video. Mine showed a very fine/thin line (almost unnoticeable) which makes it very difficult for me to click the right end to drag and expand it across my entire 36min video. Do you know why is this so?

[Sxulzz]

help it doesn't let me make the text longer

[Snqrf]

I cant make the text shorter I would like it to only be visible for less than a second

[wiseman]

hi I can't add text to my video as you added in your video?

[smt]

how to make speacil text from, the web?

[PoetryUs]

How do i make the txt static, and not move side to side with 30 second video? video is moving side to side, but txt goes along with it, i just want video to move adn txt to stay in tact and not move

[UncleRickySays-xujl]

Thank you. The Video Editor I see in YouTube Studio doesn't have any of the tools which appear on your screen. I have Trim & Cut, Blur, Audio, End Screen and Info Cards. I have the preview window on the right, and the timeline below, but no tools as are appearing on your screen. Sad😢
