You can add text to create a title or caption for your video. You can also adjust the alignment of your text using the buttons described below. The captions may be changed and formatted while recording is taking place (to the live picture). To add captions to a completed recording, we recommend using VideoPad video editing software.

Alignment

The alignment can be adjusted to left, center, right, vertical top, vertical center and vertical bottom.

Caption

Insert total time, current year, month, day, hour, minute, second or keyboard clicks by typing the following:

Include Timestamp

When checking this checkbox it will add a new line to the text caption containing the timestamp with the format: %YYYY%-%MM%-%DD% %HH%:%MIN%:%SS%.

Word Wrap

When checking this checkbox, text caption can be split into several lines. As much as possible, lines will be split from the last space of the word that will reach the end of the writing space.

Display Keyboard Clicks

When checking this checkbox, keyboard presses will be displayed on the topmost of text caption for 1.5 seconds.
