faq-icon

Adding text to a video is a must-have to convey a message efficiently. It emphasizes the most important points and adds information to capture your audience’s attention. Never forget that most users watch videos without sound, so always add subtitles to your videos to ensure you stop them scrolling past. Adding text increases the impact of your video by making it more engaging, memorable and informative for your audience.

    It was often difficult… outsourcing video production makes the process more lengthy and not all creative decisions were under our control. With PlayPlay, we are much more intentional about planning and creating new visual content.
