How to add text to a video on iPhone

To add text to a video on iPhone with Vyra, open your footage in the app and add a text element on the timeline, or ask chat for the words and timing you want. Set its position and duration, then watch it at normal phone size before exporting.

A title introduces the video. A label points out something inside a shot. Captions follow speech. Decide which job the text needs to do before putting the same sentence on screen for the whole edit.

Add a title or label

1. Open a project in the Vyra iPhone app and add your footage.
2. Decide what the viewer needs to read and the moment they need it.
3. Add the text on the timeline or describe the exact wording in chat.
4. Set its position so it does not cover a face, product or important detail.
5. Adjust when it appears and disappears. Read the whole line without pausing playback.
6. Export and check the saved video on your phone.

Make each line do a job

For a product clip, a short label can name the shade or size while you show it. For a studio vlog, an opening title can establish where the day starts. Avoid repeating a long spoken sentence as a title if captions would handle it more clearly.

Add the title "a day in the studio" over the first shot. Keep it inside the frame with room around the edges, hold it long enough to read, then remove it before I start speaking. Leave the rest of the video unchanged.

Check contrast across the shot

Text can look clear on the first frame and disappear when a white shirt moves behind it. Play the whole time it is visible. Move it to a calmer area or use a contrasting treatment if the background changes.
