Tips from a Template-teer / Lucas, Sr. Product Marketing Manager

Hi there,

This week's tip is about making sure your audience can actually read what you have to say.

Video backgrounds get busy fast, and words can get lost in the noise. The fix is simple: drop a solid shape behind your message.

A rectangle or pill keeps things clean and professional, organic blobs and torn-paper shapes add personality. Either way, your text pops, and your viewer's eye knows exactly where to look.

Check out our elements library for hundreds of options to help create standout videos with text that hits the mark.

💡 Bonus tip: Use elements from the same family of shapes rather than simply repeating the same one. This keeps the design engaging and fresh while still looking consistent.

Want to test it out? Here are a few more creative templates to try this week:
