Put your text over a video made from your clips

Give Auto Edit from Footage your own lines, for example for a motivation video. Each line becomes a title over the shots that suit it, long enough to read.

Auto Edit from Footage can place your own text in the new video, for example the lines of a motivation video.

Add your lines

1. Open AI Edit › From Footage and click Look at the Footage.
2. In Your text over the video (one title per line, optional), type or paste your lines, one per line.
3. Review the plan and click Create Timeline.

Each line becomes a title over the shots that suit it. The AI on your Mac matches the meaning: "a new day" goes over a sunrise, "never give up" over running or a summit. Every title stays on screen long enough to read. When you ask for a length, the lines are spread over that length.

Split screens

Tick Split screens now and then to show two shots side by side from time to time. It is off unless you tick it.

From the Assistant

You can ask for all of it in one sentence in AI Edit › Assistant: "Make a 30 s energetic music video from the Gym bin with split screens and this text over it: A new day. Never give up. Work while others sleep."
