Keep your text within those boxes, and your text will never to be too close the edge of the screen, which makes it visually awkward and possibly harder to read. The Safe Areas overlay displays concentric boxes.
The Grid overlay displays a grid over the video preview, allowing you to place multiple text events consistently in the same position. ✓ In the drop-down menu, choose Grid or Safe Areas. ✓ Click the down arrow Overlays button in the Video Preview window. If you do, take advantage of the guides built into the VEGAS Pro Video Preview window. That said, you always have the option of moving the text around on the screen.
You may have to adjust the font size, but we’ll cover that in STEP 7 below. For the most part, you don’t really have to worry about placement, because the presets will already place the text in the optimal part of the screen. Some of them even depend on being placed in the center to work properly. Most of the new animations are optimized to look their best in the center of the screen. You can always change the presets if you want, but they start out subtle and crisp. They utilize plain white text, and their animation, though eye-catching, is subtle and professional. The new preset animations in VEGAS Pro are designed with all this in mind. You also don’t want to use an animation which may seem dated later. Don’t tire out your audience with lots of movement. Also, the modern trend with text animation is that less is more. Most of the time, a crisp, non-serif white font will do the job best. These might be right for a few kinds of videos, like extreme sports or wacky comedy, but for the most part, subtlety is more effective and more professional. You also want to avoid crazy colors and wild animations.
The best text is the least text needed for the job. Don’t make your audience read your video. Use text to enhance your visuals, to add a bit of information or narration, or to mark chapters in your story. After all, you’re making a video, not writing a book. But it’s still possible to overdo it! The biggest rule of thumb for making is video is “show, don’t tell.” Most often, you should use images to tell your story and get your points across, not text. As we said above, text is getting to be more and more commonplace in the modern age of video. Let’s talk a little bit about how best to use text. Then, in VEGAS Pro, we’ll follow these steps: To get you started taking advantage of these great animations, we’ll cover a few general guidelines for using text.

Today’s video makers often take advantage of exciting animated text for adding information or for style. These days, using text in video is becoming more and more popular, especially for video made for social media and streaming platforms like Facebook and YouTube.
