The inspiration of this article comes from a user aking us how to add background to text. When I tell him how to use overly line to make a simple text background, more ideas came into my mind. We can use overlay line to make so many fantastic video elements to bring our videos to a new high, Let\u2019s dive into it right now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a list of what I am going to share with you in this article in case you wan to skip to a specific section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Add a Simple Text Background?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><\/a>\n\n\n\n

Run YouTube Movie Maker software and go to the \u201cMake YouTube Video\u201d button (not only YouTube video but there are also so many video formats that can be chosen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double left click the Text\/ Subtitle Line to type in the Text Panel. Then reset the text position in the below \u201cPosition Settings\u201d or use your mouse to grab the text on the screen and drag it to a proper position directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Right-click the text in \u201cText Line\u201d to set its fonts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"adjust<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Choose a font style with an outline, so that you can set the outline with big size and set the outline color as you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"add<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And you\u2019ll see a text-shaped background when the text appearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"text<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Right-click one of the overlay lines to insert a color block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"insert<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And you\u2019ll see it on the screen like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"color<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then you can zoom in or zoom out it by draging the top corner arrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"change<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grab the color block on the screen and move to replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, you can choose to make a simple text background or a creative text box as novel text background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer the former option, you just need to change the shape of the color block into a rectangle, like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"text<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer the latter option, you need to repeat the following steps to add more different color blocks and place them together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"add<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add your text to the Text Line like Brand Name, Video Title or something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Add<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is the simple way to make your text standing-out, and you can also use *.png images to make a fantastic one like the below one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"make<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can also use it to make creative frames, for instance, the dialogue scenes in videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"make<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There is a way to make simple motion graphics within a few clicks based on the former steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Simple Motion Graphics?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><\/a>\n\n\n\n

Since we\u2019ve added all color blocks or *.png images into Overlay Line, we can set the motion effect to each of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"set<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways of appearing and disappearing for each image\/color block on Overlay Line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you can also decide the duration of the appearing and disappearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"duration<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After you set motion effect to all items, you can go to the next step. Lengthen or shorten the color block on the Overlay Line to change the whole duration from showing up to disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Lengthen<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Right-click to append clone operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"append<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can customize how many you want to append.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"customize<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, click \u201cPreview\u201d to see the result.<\/p>\n\n\n
