## Title and artist
## Video title, song title, and artist
Each track can have:
YouTube metadata and on-video layout text are separate fields:
- **Title** — used on the video and as the YouTube title (often prefilled from the filename)
- **Artist** — drawn under the title on art-track layouts (max 80 characters)
| Field | UI label | Purpose | Limits |
|-------|----------|---------|--------|
| `title` | **Video title** | YouTube upload title only | Required unless fallback applies (below) |
| `songTitle` | **Song title** | Track title burned into art-track layouts | Max **120** characters |
| `artist` | **Artist** | Artist line under the song title on art-track layouts | Max **80** characters |
Artist is especially useful when ID3 tags or your API payload include it.
- On the dashboard, video title is always editable. Song title and artist control the Layout Studio preview and the encoded frame.
- If **video title** is left empty, Songs2VID falls back to ``${artist} - ${songTitle}`` (or whichever of those is present). Self-hosted editions always have this unlocked.
- ID3 tags (when readable) typically prefill song title / artist and a combined video title such as `Artist - Song`.
Classic letterbox mode does not burn song title or artist into the frame; they still matter for the YouTube title fallback when video title is omitted.

### Position and offset
- **Position**: `top-left` · `top-right` · `bottom-left` · `bottom-right` · `center`
- **Offsets** (`offsetX` / `offsetY`): `0``200` px from the chosen anchor (default `20`)
### Typography (text mode)
### Typography
Font choice applies to **art-track song title / artist** and to **text watermarks**. Layout Studio loads the same `.ttf` files FFmpeg uses, so preview and encoded video stay aligned.
Curated fonts (bundled under `assets/fonts` after fetch):
- `system`FFmpeg default
- `system`Arial / Helvetica in preview; FFmpeg system default when encoding
- `inter` · `montserrat` · `roboto` · `oswald` · `playfair`
- `custom` — your `.ttf` / `.otf` (max 10 MB; upload with `type=font`, set `fontKey: "custom"` and `fontPath`)
Set `watermark.fontKey` (and `fontPath` for custom) even when watermark mode is `default` or `none` if you only need the font for art-track text.
Refresh curated files if missing:
```bash
node scripts/fetch-watermark-fonts.mjs
```
Text length is capped at 80 characters.
## Dashboard workflow
1. Add audio (and optional per-track covers)
2. Open **Layout Studio** on a track
3. Choose classic or a template, then tune blur, padding, gaps, and text offsets
4. Configure watermark mode, font, and position
5. Preview updates live; submit to enqueue encoding
2. Set **Video title** (YouTube) and, for art-tracks, **Song title** / **Artist**
3. Open **Layout Studio**
4. Choose classic or a template; tune blur, padding, gaps, and text offsets
5. Under **Typography**, pick a curated or uploaded font
6. Configure watermark mode (Songs2VID badge / text / logo), position, and offsets
7. Preview updates live; submit to enqueue encoding

Here `title` is the YouTube title, `songTitle` / `artist` appear on the art-track frame, and `fontKey` styles that on-video text even though the watermark is the default Songs2VID badge.
