Add text and overlays to your Airtime Creator video

Airtime Creator lets you put your own text, images, or video on top of a chapter of your recording. Text is added as a title card — a card you type yourself and style.

Add a title card (your own text)

  1. In the video editor, move the playhead to the chapter you want, then click Add overlay.
  2. The Media Library opens. Click New title card.
  3. The Title card editor opens with placeholder text selected. Type your text. Press Return for more than one line.
  4. Style it using the toolbar:
    • Color — choose one of ten styles. Light styles are a solid colour; dark styles are a gradient.
    • Size — Small, Medium, Large, or X-Large.
    • Bold, Italic, and Strikethrough.
    • Alignment — left, centre, or right.
  5. Click Save.

Your title card is added to that chapter, and saved to your Media Library — you can reuse it on another video from the Title cards filter.

Add an image or video overlay

  1. Move the playhead to the chapter you want, then click Add overlay.
  2. In the Media Library, drag a file onto the panel, click Browse computer, or pick something you've used before. You can upload JPEG, PNG, HEIC, and video files.
  3. Use the sidebar filters — All media, Image, Title cards, Video — to narrow the list.
  4. Select what you want, then click Add.

Adjust an overlay

  • Change how long it shows — drag the left or right edge of the overlay. The minimum is half a second.
  • Move it — drag the overlay along the chapter.
  • Fill or Fit (images and video only) — click the overlay and choose Fill to cover the whole frame, or Fit to show all of it with a background around the edges. Choosing Fit lets you pick that Background colour.
  • Edit a title card — click the overlay and choose Edit title card.
  • Remove it — click the overlay and choose Delete, or select it and press Delete.

Once a chapter has an overlay, the Add overlay button becomes Edit overlay.
