Should you generate titles inside an AI video or add them in the edit?

Separate scenic text from release information

Decide whether the text is part of the fictional environment or information the audience must read. A distant background sign serves a different purpose from a release date. For essential wording, agree the approved copy and typography before final output. Do not treat a convincing first frame as proof that generated lettering remains stable through motion.

Plan space before generating

Identify where the title will sit and how long it should remain readable. Choose compositions that leave an appropriate area instead of discovering at the end that every frame is crowded. Test the intended text over rough footage early. If the title must interact with a moving subject, describe that relationship in the production plan so masking or tracking work is accounted for.

Review each format independently

A title that works in a wide frame may compete with the face in a vertical crop. Check the real composition at the intended viewing size, including any platform interface that could cover the message. Avoid assuming one fixed safe-area measurement suits every destination indefinitely. Use the delivery requirements for the actual release and revise placements when those requirements change.

Preserve editable and clean versions

Keep the approved text separate in the project and agree whether a textless master is needed. Record the version of the artist name, date and other copy used in each export. Before delivery, review spelling, timing, contrast and the end frame rather than checking only the thumbnail. Controlled titles let a campaign adapt when a date changes or another language is requested without forcing the entire underlying scene to be generated again.
