How to Add Text to an iMovie Video
If you’re using iMovie to create your own video masterpieces, you’ve probably noticed there’s no feature dedicated specifically to adding captions. However, you can still add text to your videos using a few different styles of titles to make them relevant to a much wider audience.
Whether you’re using a Mac or iPhone, you can add text to iMovie and make your projects look more professional.
How to Add Text to iMovie on Mac
There are many styles available in iMovie that you can use to add text to any clip in your movie. You can either place titles over a solid-color background, video clip, animated background clip, or an Apple-designed graphic background.

- Open your movie in the iMovie timeline and select Titles. You’ll see the available title styles in the browser or titles related to your chosen theme at the top of the browser.
- Select the title you want to use or search for the name of a particular title using the search field. For animated titles, skim the thumbnails in the browser to see how they move.

- Move the playhead over the title or select the title in the timeline. Double-click the placeholder text to select it and then type the text you want to appear in your project.
