I Want to Add Handwritten Text to My Video ♡

✅ I want to include handwritten messages for the newlyweds in a wedding celebration video.

✅ I want to add handwritten messages for the guests in the end roll.

For those who are thinking about this ＊

In this article, I will introduce how to add handwritten text to your video.

By including handwritten text instead of computer fonts, the video will feel warmer, so give it a try ♡

How to Add Text to Video① Preparation

Write on a pure white sketchbook.

Using a "thick" "black marker" will allow for better integration later.

How to Add Text to Video② Turn it into an Image

Transfer what you wrote in the sketchbook to your computer or smartphone.

There are two methods to do this:

✅ Take a photo

✅ Scan it

Scanning will result in a cleaner finish, but it costs money to scan at a convenience store (30 yen per sheet).

If you take a photo, make sure to shoot in a bright place to avoid shadows.

How to Add Text to Video③ Remove the Background

Remove the white background of the sketchbook.

＜For Smartphone＞

Using an app to make the background transparent can do this instantly.

➡ App to Make Background Transparent

Automatically remove the white part of the sketchbook…

Save as "transparent."

＜For Computer＞

Using a website called remove allows you to make the background transparent instantly.

How to Add Text to Video④ Incorporate it into the Video

Once the text is transparent, add it as an image in your video software; only the text part will be included.

Arrange it over the background image or video.
