Add text, emojis and shapes to your clips

A clip used to be finished the moment you exported it. Now you can open it again and add what it needs to stand on its own.

A second step after the cut

Cutting the right moment is most of the work, but a short clip often needs a little more: a title so people know what they are watching, an arrow to the detail that matters, an emoji for the punchline. Until now that meant downloading the clip and opening another app.

The Clip Editor does it inside ClipSprint. Open it from the menu, pick any clip you have exported, and it opens over the finished picture.

Text, emojis and shapes

Add a text and type it, with Enter for a new line. Choose its size, its colour and a style: plain, with an outline, or on a box so it reads over any picture. Emojis come from a set made for reactions, and shapes are rectangles, ellipses and arrows, outlined or filled, in any colour and at any angle.

Drag each one on the video to place it. Under the video every item has its own bar on the timeline: drag it, or its ends, to choose the seconds it shows.

What sits in front

Each item is a row in the layers under the video. Drag a row by its handle to change the order: lower rows are drawn over higher ones, in the editor and in the exported clip.

Saving does not cost a clip

When you save, the same clip is rendered again with your changes, in a few seconds. It does not count against your monthly clips, and each clip can be changed up to 10 times. If something goes wrong, the clip stays as it was.

The moment, the shape and the framing stay as you exported them. To change those, export a new clip.

On every plan

Text, emojis and shapes are available on the Free plan too. Free clips keep the ClipSprint watermark on top of everything you add.
