Setup

Sign in to the workspace that owns the project.
Open the project in the editor.
Required files or assets: none. The project should already have captions, text overlays, or a video or voiceover clip that can use captions.

Step by step

1. Open the Text panel

Click Text in the left toolbar.

The Text panel opens showing Add Text Overlay, Text Overlays, and Autocaptions.

Editor Text panel with Text Overlays and Autocaptions sections

2. Fix a text overlay

Click Text Overlays to expand the section.

Use Font Family and Font Size to change the typeface and size. Use the color pickers to adjust the text and outline colors. Click a text clip in the timeline to apply your changes to that clip, or click Add Text Overlay to create a new one.

3. Fix autocaption style

Click Autocaptions to expand the section.

Use Font Family, Font Size, and the color controls to make captions readable over the video.

If something blocks you

Text is not visible: confirm you are in the editor, not on Home or a project card.
A text clip does not update: click the clip in the timeline to select it before changing style controls.
Autocaptions section is empty: the project may not have generated captions yet. Return to the creation flow and confirm the audio source has spoken dialogue.

Done

Captions and text overlays are readable in the editor preview.

Next actions:

Preview the full edit from the first hook.
Click Export when captions, text, pacing, and audio are ready.

Text still hard to read?

Contact Bevyl support if captions or text overlays do not update in the preview after you change them.
