Start by opening Descript and creating a new project. Once your project is set up, upload the GIF you want to add text to by dragging and dropping it into the project area. Ensure it's properly positioned in the canvas and resize your GIF as needed so it's ready for editing.
With your GIF uploaded, click the Text tool in Descript's toolbar. This allows you to add static text or animated captions directly onto your GIF. Position the text box on the GIF where you'd like your text to appear. You can then type your desired text into the box. Descript offers various customization options, including font size, color, and style, so you can make your text stand out or blend in as needed.
Once you're satisfied with the text placement and appearance, it's time to finalize your creation. Play back your GIF with the newly added text to ensure everything looks as expected. If you're happy with the result, click Publish > Export > GIF and choose the appropriate GIF settings for your needs.
