    Curved Text

    While you perform the basic edits across the added text, look for the "Shape" toggle in the "Basic" section after expanding the settings using "More Text Options." On turning on the toggle, you will be able to see different curved text options that you can select according to your video aesthetics.

    On enabling the option, select any curved option available and set its "Strength" to control the curvature of the text. If you want to change the curvature, manually switch between the presets and override the previous edits. On disabling the "Shape" toggle, the curve effect will be reverted, and the text will return to its original state.
