How to use transparent comment PNGs in a video edit
A practical guide to exporting a clean comment graphic and placing it over your footage.
Start with a readable comment
Keep the text short enough to read at the size it will appear in your video. Use the comment generator preview to check line breaks before exporting.
Choose the right resolution
A 3× export is a useful starting point for most edits. Increase it when the graphic needs to fill more of the frame. Extra pixels keep edges crisp when you scale down.
Keep the transparency
PNG keeps the area outside the comment transparent. Import the PNG as an image layer above your footage. Avoid converting it to JPEG, which removes that transparency.
Give the graphic space
Place the comment away from captions, faces and important details. Transparent padding can make selection and positioning easier without adding a visible background.
