Ensure you are logged into your Clipchamp account (either via the web browser or desktop app) and have your images or video clips already added to your media library.
Add Text Animations Using Templates
Use Clipchamp's built-in text overlays to easily apply entrance, exit, and continuous animations to your text.
Navigate to the left sidebar in the Clipchamp editor and click on the 'Templates' tab.
Browse the available template categories and select 'Text overlays' to view animated text options.
Choose a template with the desired entrance or exit effect, then drag and drop it onto your video timeline.
Click the text box either on the video preview screen or the timeline to edit the wording, adjust the font, and change colors to fit your project.

Create Animated Slideshows with WPS Office
While Clipchamp is tailored for video editing, if you need to create highly customized, animated slideshows with complete control over image panning and text entrance/exit effects, WPS Presentation is a powerful and free alternative. It offers full compatibility with Microsoft PowerPoint formats and allows you to export your animated presentations directly as video files.
