How do I make text follow a moving object?
3 min read · Updated October 30, 2026
Choose the object at the start, let the tool follow it through the clip, and attach your text or sticker to the path. Zlayo's editor has motion tracking that turns the movement into keyframes on a sticker.
Open the editor →Tips
- Pick an object with clear edges and good contrast.
- Avoid fast turns and objects that leave the frame.
- Check the path by scrubbing the clip before exporting.
In Zlayo
Add a sticker, then run the tracker on the object. The result is a set of keyframes you can adjust by hand if the tracker drifts.
Questions
Edit the keyframes by hand or track a shorter section.
The tracker drives a sticker layer; keep your label on or beside it.
