Add Text to Video with Narrative-Grade Precision
Place subtitles, captions, and on-screen text that match pacing, characters, and tone across shots and episodes.
Add Text to Video in 3 Simple Steps
Input Your Idea & Text Goals
Start with a story prompt, script outline, dialogue, or just a concept. Tell Frameo what kind of on-screen text you want: subtitles, captions, lower-thirds, translated text, or branded call-outs. Behind the scenes, Frameo’s AI understands narrative structure and maps the text to specific beats and shots based on your prompt.
AI Generates Story Shots & Text Layers
Frameo’s generation engine builds a shot-by-shot sequence of visuals and then applies text where needed. The system synchronizes on-screen text with speech patterns, scene transitions, and shot timing, so captions flow naturally with your story. This goes beyond pasted text subtitles are aligned to voice data and pacing to create a cohesive viewer experience.
Review & Refine Before Export
Once the draft video is ready, you can adjust wording, placement, style, and timing. Frameo lets you tweak text layers conversationally, change captions, retime dialogue labels, or localize text without redoing the entire video. Final output is formatted for vertical platforms like Reels and Shorts, making your story-ready text look great on mobile.
