Want to create that cool effect where text magically appears behind a person in your video? It’s easier than you might think! In this step-by-step guide, I’ll show you how to place text behind a person in CapCut on your PC. Let’s dive in and get started!
Getting Started
1. Open CapCut on Your PC
First things first, make sure you have CapCut installed on your computer. If you haven’t done that yet, you can download it from the official website. Once you have it installed, open the app.
- If you already have a video project, just open that.
- If not, start fresh by clicking on “Create Project.”
2. Import Your Video
Now, it’s time to bring your video into CapCut. Here’s how:
- Head to the Import section.
- Choose the video you want from your computer and click Open.
- Your video should now be sitting pretty in CapCut. Drag it down to the timeline at the bottom of the screen. This is where all the magic happens!
Adding Text to Your Video
3. Adding and Customizing Your Text
This is where we add the text that will go behind your person:
- Go to the Text tab at the top of the screen.
- Click and drag the text box onto the timeline above your video track. Make sure it’s stretched out to cover the part of the video where you want your text to appear.
- Type in whatever text you want—maybe your name, a catchy phrase, or something fun!
Want your text to stand out? You can resize and reposition it by grabbing the corners of the text box in the preview tab. Make it big, make it small—do whatever feels right for your video!
4. Putting the Text Behind the Person
Okay, now here comes the fun part!
- Go back to the Media tab and drag your original video above the text track.
- Click on your video track, and you’ll see options pop up on the left side of the screen.
- Find the Remove Background section and turn on the Auto Removal feature.
CapCut will start doing its magic, removing the background and leaving only the person visible. This makes your text appear as if it’s behind the person. How cool is that?
🧠 Pro Tip: If the auto-removal feature takes a bit of time, don’t worry—good things come to those who wait!
Preview and Final Touches
5. Check Out Your Awesome Effect

If it looks good, great! If not, tweak the size, position, or duration of the text until it’s just right.
