How to have different fonts in text filter?

Help/How To
1

I feel like the basic text filter is bland… and I kinda want my videos to have colorful poped text, I already know how to color it but is there any way to add more detail or no…?

2

Photoshop > PNG with alpha transparency > Add to new video track > Enable composite

3

Wait so I would use the fonts from Photoshop, not from the video recorder…

You mean video editor?
The point is, Shotcut has limited font effects, you want more then use a raster editor such as Photoshop to create your effects then import the PNG image into Shotcut.

Kinda fixed it using bold effects, also personally I think it would be a pain to export the text in from Photoshop, but thanks.
