How do you add callouts, markup, emoji, and other fun shapes and forms to Clips? With overlays!

Where would our snappy and instant candids be without word bubbles, comic callouts, time and location stamps, and even emoji to cover up what’s best left unseen? Apple’s new video app, Clips lets you add just such overlays to your video. They’re not very elaborate yet but several of them are elegantly animated and can definitely ramp up the fun factor.

Note: Overlays will request access to your location. That’s because one of the overlays displays your location so you can superimpose it over your Clips, similar although not yet as varied or elaborate as Snapchat location filters.

What kind of overlays are included in Clips?

Clips comes with several overlay types built right in:

Bold type old
Comic

Text arrow
Label

Simple arrow
