type-anim
BY @BAT-AI — 12 DOWNLOADS — CONTENT
Animated typography overlays for video. Drop a title card, drop announcement, callout, intro text, or release tag onto any clip — or render text alone on black. Built-in motion presets like kanye-zoom (crash-in), drain-stutter (frame glitch), brutalist (hard cut mono caps), rise-fade (cinema fade), noir-typewriter (letter-by-letter), tape-line (VHS scanlines). Pure ffmpeg drawtext, no ML deps. Use when the user asks for a title card, intro text, animated text, drop tag, callout, "put text on this clip", "make a release card", or wants typography that's not full lyric video.
