How to Add "Pop Up Text" to Your Videos





hey what's up everyone it's pat flynn
from smart passive income comm and in
this video i'
m gonna show you how to add
pop-up text to your videos just like
this popup text in video is a great way
to hold your audience's attention and
really emphasize those important moments
of your recordings and one way to do
this is to screen capture yourself
speaking over slides in keynote or in
powerpoint where each slide or each
action within a slide reveals a new word
so for example you can see i'm here in
quito right now and i've just set up a
number of slides where each slide kind
of reveals another word so all i have to
do is just screen record using some
software like ScreenFlow or Camtasia and
just simultaneously go to the next slide
while saying those words with my arrow
keys so for example I'm gonna say pop-up
text is awesome you know so that's how
you do it and so let me zoom in for you
so you can get the full effect
pop-up text is awesome now the issue
with keynote or PowerPoint is that it
limits you in the way that you can only
create pop-up text over some sort of
static image or background and I don't
think you can do pop-up text with any
kind of moving elements again this isn't
keynote or in PowerPoint so how do you
get pop-up text over your recorded
videos moving stuff stuff that you film
with your camera and that's all done in
post-production so you film the stuff
first then you use software just like
ScreenFlow or Camtasia once again to add
that text in there when you're saying
those words and I'm gonna show you how I
do that in ScreenFlow right now okay so
here you are in ScreenFlow and you're
actually looking at the ScreenFlow file
for this exact video that you're
watching right now we're here at the
beginning of the intro which you've
already seen at the top of this video
this is the intro video there's the
audio below it and then at the five to
five and a half second mark you'll
notice these text elements each one
representing a different word that pops
up at a different time on the screen
I've already placed them I've already
scaled them and stuff and I'll show you
how to do that in a second but I'm gonna
show you what happens when I press play
in this little red
moves from left to right I want you to
notice what happens on the preview
screen here when that line hits the
beginning of each of these text elements
I'm gonna press play for you now hey
what's up everyone it's Pat Flynn from
smart passive income comm and in this
video I'm gonna show you how to add
pop-up text to your videos just like
this and really that's all you have to
do is put text elements on the timeline
where you want them to show up making
sure they're above the layer that your
video is on and they're gonna show up
where you want them to and you can scale
them you can rotate them if you want you
can change the colors and for each of
the different words so I'm gonna show
you how to do this really quick so just
as an example I'm going to add pop-up
text when I say my name Pat Flynn at the
beginning of this video so I'm just
gonna walk you through this so I'm gonna
rewind I'm gonna press play hey what's
up everyone its path length okay so it
happens right around here so I'm
actually gonna zoom in so I could find
the exact wavelength here in the audio
file where I say my name is easier to
kind of find it that when you want to be
pretty precise so it the pop ups are
crisp and clean so what you can actually
do is kind of look at your face if
you're speaking or kind of listen to see
where exactly you start to say the word
that you want to put a pop-up text for
so if I look at my face it's around
right there that's when I first say my
name so what I'm gonna do at that point
now that I'm hovered over this moment in
time is click on the text properties box
and then add text box as you can see
that adds a text element here if I
scroll all the way through the top of
the timeline you'll see it added this
element in the timeline for me I'm gonna
double click on that and change it to my
name Pat I'm gonna move it I'm going to
use the text properties area to change
the font here to franchise to match the
rest change the font size here but you
know I actually like doing it better in
the scale area in the video properties
section just because you can get a
little bit more precise and then there's
just kind of ugly background behind it
so I'm gonna go back to the text
properties section and and just get rid
of that that backdrop setting so as you
can see it says Pat there now if i zoom
out and you'll see that when I start the
video from the beginning it should come
in at the precise moment that I say my
name it what's up everyone its Pat Flynn
from smart passive income calm
all right so that that's how it works
now just to make it easier for you
because I know you're gonna do more than
just one word what you can do to kind of
shortcut your way there is to highlight
the one that you just did copy it using
you know ctrl C or you can go to edit
copy or whatever and then click command
V or ctrl V to paste and that
automatically places another set of text
the exact same one in the timeline above
and you can kind of move that around and
kind of guess where your other one is
going to be you know obviously want to
be precise and we can do that in second
but making sure that one is highlighted
I'm gonna change the text to my last
name Flynn now it's obviously too big so
I'm going to scale it down a little bit
and I'm gonna move it below my name
there I'm not gonna be totally precise
with it right now but I just want to
show you so let's see if let me guess so
it's gonna happen right there and we'll
try to play it everyone its path length
I'm smart
too soon so what I could do is actually
zoom in and you use the same technique
and look at my face is so funny they're
probably right there so now let me start
the video over and see if that works it
what's up everyone its Pat Flynn from
smart passive income dot all right so as
you can see that that worked out now how
do you finish this off now if I just
leave it as is you'll see that Pat will
end first and Flynn will end second if
this goes and in this video I'm gonna
show you how to add pop-up text to your
videos see that's kind of funny because
that overlaps with some of the text I
did there so you can actually shorten
the length that these show up I'm gonna
match them up and ScreenFlow makes it
nice and snaps it for me and just to
finish them off nicely I'm going to
right click at the end of this time here
and click on add ending transition and
what this does is you can you're able to
I'm gonna right click again and add
cross dissolve you know there's
different types of transitions but I
usually just to cross this off and that
what that does it kind of gives it a
nice fading effect at this moment time
so if I scroll over this you'll see see
kind of how it disappears and it leaves
room for those other ones that come in
later so let's start from the beginning
and see what happens
hey what's up everyone its Pat Flynn
from smart passive income calm and in
this video I'm gonna show you how to add
pop-up text to your videos just like
this
all right awesome and then it goes into
my little bumper video intro there so
that's how it works that's how you can
add pop-up text here moving videos using
ScreenFlow and you can also do the same
thing with Camtasia Camtasia has both a
Mac and PC version so you PC users can
use Camtasia for that
now there's one tip I want to give you
don't overdo this I've seen videos
before that do this on every single word
and it's just that's crazy because it's
gonna take a lot of time and also it
kind of decreases the impact of this
effect you want to use this only at your
most important parts of your video as
you can see I use it at the beginning of
my video when I ask the question or I
said what the video is gonna be about or
if you have a really important point in
the middle of your video you know this
is a great place to add that element
don't overdo it it's just gonna waste
your time and it's going to decrease the
whole effect of this particular
technique so I hope you enjoyed that tip
I can't wait to see what you come up
with feel free to ask me any questions
if you have any and I will do my best to
answer them and I'll see you on the blog
