“Users can add animated captions and titles using only their voice. Subtitles are automatically generated when a user is speaking and appear on the screen in perfect sync with the user’s voice. Users can mix and match different styles and tap any title to adjust text and punctuation, or even add inline emoji. Live Titles supports 36 different languages.”
You can add comic filters, speech bubbles, shapes, and even full-screen animated posters to your videos.
