New Default Text Feature in MiniTool MovieMaker 8.4

Text is crucial for video content. It conveys important information, enhances video accessibility and comprehension, and elevates the overall aesthetic appeal. MiniTool MovieMaker introduces a default text feature to inject more creative inspiration into your video creation.

Introduction to the Default Text Update

The default text feature has just been launched by MiniTool MovieMaker 8.4 and is ready to enhance your projects. The default text is static. You can change its font, size, alignment, bold, italic, color, highlight color, and opacity. In addition, MiniTool MovieMaker 8.4 supports applying a bubble to default text. When using a bubble in the default text, changing text size and line spacing is unavailable. They can only be rotated and scaled by dragging in the player window. As the input text increases, it will automatically shrink and wrap to ensure most of the content remains within the bubble area. Meanwhile, you can still adjust boldness, italics, alignment, color, background color, and opacity under the Basic tab.

Using static default text enhances clarity, quickly delivers key information, and ensures important details remain easily understandable on fast-scrolling platforms. With text bubbles, you have more options to create text content that matches your video style.
