If you're a blogger or YouTuber running a talking-head channel – a quick movie review, a skincare routine, a travel vlog – the footage is usually the easy part. What's harder is the ten seconds at the start that tell people what they clicked into. That's the title of the video, and for a lot of viewers it's the thing that decides whether they keep watching, right after the thumbnail.

This guide covers how to make video titles from the ground up using an intro Block from our software’s Templates, so the design is already set up and you only add your words.

Step 2. Import your video

Click Add Files and load your clip onto the timeline.

Step 3. Add a title

In the Templates menu, go to Blocks, choose a title Block for your videos, and add it to the timeline.

Step 4. Customize the Block

In Clip settings, you can swap in your own words, then set the font, color, outline, and background.

Step 5. Adjust titles, transitions, and effects

You're not limited to the one title you just placed, either – drop in more title styles, transitions, or filters from the toolbox. Each one you've added keeps its own settings open for tweaking – transitions let you set the duration and pick a fill mode, and most other effects come with their own adjustable intensity, color, or timing – so everything matches the rest of your video before you move on.

Step 6. Export the result

Click Export to open the export settings where you can adjust resolution, aspect ratio, and quality. Click Start to save the result.

Frequently asked questions

Can I export just the title, separate from the rest of the clip?

Yes, Movavi's partial export lets you select that one fragment of the timeline and export it alone, without rendering the whole project.

Is there a free way to try Movavi Video Editor before buying?

Yes. You can download Movavi Video Editor Free from our official website and test every tool in the app. Free exports are capped at 60 seconds, use limited codecs and low output quality, and carry a watermark. Using paid features also restricts export. The full version removes these limits.

Do I need design experience to make video titles?

No. Pick a style preset and the font, spacing, and color balance are already handled for you. You're just swapping in your own words, which keeps the whole process simple and fast by design.
