When is a font professional?

Font needs to be inline with content.

Toy ducks? Toy-ish font?

Might go for the font used on the bike.

I know there are some exceptions, but I think it's generally a bit reductive to call one font inherently 'professional'. For writing a letter or email, sure perhaps... but in the world of creative media, it all comes down to intent - and not just intent, but your approach to the graphic design in your video as a whole.

You can try any number of fonts, but there are more factors than that. The typesetting and text treatment, the color choices, where it's positioned, and how well it serves the goal you are trying to achieve (ie. are you branding? making subtitles? etc.) For example, what looks professional for subtitles will look very different than what looks professional for creative graphics for branding.

I will preface by saying I do not consider myself a professional graphic designer, rather, just an editor who makes motion graphics - so someone might have better advice, but I would imagine in the same way that good editing services the goals you have for your viewers, same would go for graphics.

Just by seeing ducks on a bike and "Ultimate Bike Accessorie" there's not much context. I'm not sure if simply changing the font will suddenly solve your problem either. That said, Adobe has a bunch of fonts you can try out via Adobe Fonts, so it doesn't hurt to start there if you want to check some out. Still, I will mostly advocate that you might want to further research how you can broaden your graphic design approach and skillset, as I think that will pay off for you more in the long run, especially for future projects. There are tons of sites and YouTube videos out there in that vein.

Best of luck!

it's a product video, a nice font that makes you want to buy, a text big enough to fill the blurred area and the height

by the way, is the content of the text good?

a nice font that makes you want to buy

This I suppose is the sentiment I am suggesting against. A font choice alone won't determine if I want to buy something. Obviously, there's the product itself and if I need it, but aside from that it's other things in the video: how well the product is demonstrated, if the information and video is clear and well-presented, etc.

What you have shown looks akin to what you might see on social media - which isn't exactly saying it's bad or good. Just what seems to be common for the form factor - using text on screen considering feeds are often muted.

I'm going to stay away from providing in-depth critique, because a lot of that is personal preference and like I said, researching graphic design best practices (as well as best marketing practices in your case) will probably get you a lot further than anything I could tell you for effective marketing video strategy.
