# Add Text Overlay to Video

> Add a text overlay to a clip in the quso.ai editor for titles, callouts or branding. Set the font, color, size, position and timing of each text layer.

Adding text overlays to your videos can help convey important information, highlight key points, or add branding elements. With quso.ai, you can easily insert and customize text to match your video’s style.
