Add text, captions, a logo and an end card to AI video
AI video models are poor at writing words, so text belongs on top of the video, not in the prompt. Finish adds it sharp and spelled right, and it costs no credits.
Text on screen
- Put the hook at the top for the first 3 seconds.
- Use a few words per line, bold and high contrast.
- Keep text away from the bottom and right edges, where apps put their buttons.
Captions
Many people watch with the sound off. Type captions yourself, or add a voice-over and let Finish make captions from it; then read every line once, especially brand names.
Voice-over
- AI voice: pick a voice and language and paste your script; 2 credits per 250 characters.
- Your own recording: upload it free.
- The video's own sound can be kept, lowered or removed.
Logo and end card
Add your logo small in a corner, from your Brand kit. Finish with an end card: your call to action and brand name for 2 seconds, in your brand colour.
Questions
How do I add captions to an AI video?
Open the video in Finish and type captions, or add a voice-over and let Finish make timed captions from it. Captions are free.
