Visual Appealing: First of all make sure you use fewer words instead of a lot of words. Big creators such ali abdaal, Mr. beast add fewer words instead of full sentence.

Use proper customization options such as font family, color, Background color etc to make the text appealing.

You can use pre-made presets if you are not experienced with adding visual text.

Animation: Animation is basically how text appears on the screen. It is used in the beginning and ending of text. Text animation can be applied from the animation tab.

Duration: Duration means how long your text stay on the screen. It is should be long enough so user can read the text and same time shouldn’t too long. It would make the video boring.
