How Do I Add Text to My Video in iOS iMovie?

Even though the mobile version of iMovie has limited features when compared to the Mac version, it is still powerful enough to let you manipulate movies in numerous ways. One of the most commonly requested features it the ability to overlay text onto the movie clip.

1. Launch the iMovie app on your phone.

2. Create a new movie in Theater tab by tapping on the plus button. If you already have an existing project that you want to add text to, skip to step 5.

3. Next, in the New Movie screen, select a theme for your movie. As you tap on a theme, the preview area will play a short example video to show you how your video may look. Each theme includes unique tiles that can be used to write your messages. You can always switch to another movie theme later. Tap Create Movie to create a new blank project with the selected theme.
