You’ve generated your visuals, and now it’s time to make them sell. || 💡 The Text Overlays feature allows you to add captions, product names, price callouts and custom messaging directly onto your videos, without leaving Caimera or jumping between tools. Whether you're building a social ad, a lookbook reel, or a product showcase, overlays give your content the branded finish it needs to perform. ### Getting Started **Step 1:** Navigate to the **Video tool** from the home page. ![Step 1: Open the Video tool from the home page.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/download-2026-04-16t165137299_1cqmi2x.png =800x362) **Step 2:** Click on the video you wish to edit in the **'History'** section. ![Step 2: Select the video you want to edit from the “History” section.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/22361ec2-46a6-4786-bc74-67494f_58gf7q.gif =800x362) **Step 3:** Click the **Text button** located in the left toolbar to open the overlay menu. ![Step 3: Click on the “Text” button in the left toolbar.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/click-on-text-button_hfd7ui.gif =800x362) ### Style Your Text: Font, Color & Alignment Match your overlays to your brand aesthetic using the customization panel on the left sidebar. * **Choose a Style:** Select a text style from the overlay options displayed in the left panel. * **Enter Your Text:** Type or paste your desired text into the box. * **Refine the Look:** Adjust font family, size and weight, letter spacing and alignment, and text color and styling in the **Edit Text** section. ![Step 1: Choose a text style from the overlay options to add text.

Once everything looks right, click **'Download'** in the top-right corner to save your final video. The Download button opens a small options popover with an **Add AI disclosure watermark** option. Tick it to bake a discreet text label into the MP4, marking the video as AI-generated as required by the EU AI Act. The label defaults to "AI Generated/Synthetic Person" and is fully editable, so you can match the disclosure wording your market requires. || **Note:** This disclosure label is separate from your text overlays — it's applied at download time and sits in its own corner, so it won't clash with the captions you've positioned. ![Step 4: Click “Download” to save your final video.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/download-2026-04-16t174641184_4c0wq6.png =800x378) **Take your video further:** 🎬 [How to Edit Your Video Generations in Caimera](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/how-to-edit-your-video-generations-on-caimera-1agilg0/): Trim, sequence, and manage your full timeline 🎞️ [How to Add Existing Clips to Your Video Generations](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/how-to-add-existing-clips-to-your-video-generations-wzvwo2/#3-how-to-scale-and-reposition-clips): Pull from your library to build multi-scene videos 🔍 [How to Fine-Tune Frames and Prompts for Specific Clips](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/how-to-fine-tune-frames-and-prompts-for-specific-video-clips-p71ufc/): Dial in individual clip quality before adding overlays 🎬 [Prompting on the Video Tool (VooDoo / Move)](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/prompting-on-the-video-tool-voodoo-move-how-to-use-video-instructions-16b33ak/): How to Use Video Instructions and get stronger results with targeted motion prompts 🏷️ [How to Add Brand Assets to your Video Generations](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/how-to-add-brand-assets-to-your-video-generations-in-caimera-856sa3/): Apply your logo and brand styling to video output Have a question or running into an issue?
