Icecream Video Editor provides a straightforward, beginner-friendly way to add text to video, titles, and subtitles to your videos. It's designed for Windows and focuses on manual, controlled editing rather than AI-powered automation.
The software gives you two primary ways to add text to video:
- Add Text (Titles & Overlays): Use the "Text" tab to create custom titles or overlay text on your video. You can adjust the font, size, color, position, and even set motion speed for the text.
- Add Subtitles: Use the "Subtitles" tab to manually add captions. For each subtitle, you set the exact start and end time and type in the text. You can also import a pre-written subtitle file (in .srt format) to save time.
How to Add Text to Video: Step-by-Step
- nstall and Open: Download and install the software.
- Import Video: Click "Add files" or drag and drop your video onto the timeline.
- Add Text or Subtitles: Click the "Text" tab for titles or the "Subtitles" tab for captions.
- Customize: Type your text, set the duration, and use the "Style" tab to change the appearance.
- Preview and Export: Click "Play" to preview, then hit "Export video" to save your work.
The official information about Icecream Video Editor does not mention any AI features for automatically generating text or subtitles. All functions described in its own guides are manual. Some third-party pages have mentioned automatic subtitle generation via speech recognition, but this capability is not documented by the developer and should be considered unconfirmed.
