How to Create a Custom Text Box in Metrica Nexus

Sep 25, 2025

One of the most powerful ways to enrich your video analysis is by adding custom text boxes. With them, you can combine logos, titles, and descriptions directly into your clips, making your analysis more engaging and professional.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create a complete custom text box step by step—and how to save it as a preset for future use.

Step 1. Draw the Base Rectangle

Go to the Drawings Panel.
Select 2D Rectangle.
Place it where you want the text box to appear in your video.
Adjust its size and position so it can contain the logo, title, and description.

💡 Tip: Use a subtle color and adjust the transparency so the rectangle doesn’t cover too much of the video behind.

Step 2. Add Your Logo

Import an image (for example, your team’s logo).
Place it inside the rectangle.
Resize it so it fits neatly without distorting.

This gives your text box a professional, branded look.

Step 3. Add a Title

Insert a text element.
Place it next to the logo.
For this example, we’ll use:
Attack Phase 1.

You can adjust font size, color, and alignment to match your team’s identity.

Step 4. Add a Description

Add another text element below the title.
Write a short description of the action happening in the clip, for example:
“Quick transition through the left side creating numerical advantage.”

Descriptions help contextualize the play and make your analysis easier to follow.

Step 5. Save as a Preset

Once you’re happy with the design, save the entire Custom Text Box as a Preset.
This allows you to reuse it instantly in future clips without starting from scratch.

💡 Think of presets as your personal branding kit inside Nexus—fast, consistent, and reusable.
