Change the size or font

Fonts are managed per-document in CueCam, so changing the font size will change it for all shared text, including bullet points and titles.

Go to the Slides menu.

Here, you can change the font size, or select a different font from the Font menu.

Option 2 - Live Titles on your iPad

If you have an iPad, you can use Video Pencil‘s Live Titles feature to add text to your stream. https://codaio.imgix.net/docs/skmQlO27qY/blobs/bl-VPA4ZemWDD/a3945520038d4698cc537f9045416e0c952887d468ed251372459de74bcb8c663d344f17d25fec61b0e71a89cd89e385eea61506e12263ebf3fbafa98c2ebaa90d40b5199c643972dbb73efbe2ad8d0383dc2e5ecdc7e27cc9a1a2a16138700d7b7198d9?auto=format%2Ccompress&w=0.5

You will see CueCam’s virtual camera on your iPad screen to see exactly where you’re adding the text.

The size of the text is set by the length of the line you draw.

Change the font with the T icon in the Video Pencil toolbar. https://codaio.imgix.net/docs/skmQlO27qY/blobs/bl-W9TL7uEli-/7801a37b589656036769d2ba46830b43b7d7aaed75df9fbfde7fc5cb051258663885b1c8c85d90c1096221fcea416a6c642726b73ce0a794785188fa502568011a6ac65e8f488d5b633010091462eb09645da392b6a08ffdb1b3af5b932983561b52cfa2?auto=format%2Ccompress&w=0.5
