How text becomes animation
The maker reads your text the way an editor would. Blank lines split it into scenes. A short line on its own above a paragraph becomes the on-screen title; the paragraph becomes the narration. If you paste one long block, it is cut into scenes of about two sentences each.
Each scene is then given a layout, an animation and a duration. The AI voice reads the narration, and the scene lasts exactly as long as that takes plus a short pause — so the pacing is natural without you touching a timeline. Titles animate in (handwritten, word-by-word, typed or rising), and optional captions highlight every word as it is spoken.
Text-only videos still look designed
You do not need a single image. Scenes without a picture become bold typographic scenes: the title fills the frame in the style's display face, important words get a highlighter swipe, and small hand-drawn doodles appear in the corners. Plenty of high-performing social videos are nothing more than well-timed text and a good voice.
When you do have pictures, add them in the Script tab and they are placed on scenes in order. Logos, screenshots, product shots and illustrations all work, and each is animated automatically — sketched by a pen, popped in, slowly zoomed or dropped like a photo.
Formatting tricks that make a big difference
- Title lines: put a short headline (under 70 characters, no full stop) on the line above a paragraph.
- Highlights: wrap a word in
*stars*to make it pop:Save *one hour* a day. - Headings only: start a line with
#to make a title card with no narration. - Pacing: shorter paragraphs mean faster cuts. For social, aim for one sentence per scene.
Any language in, any language out
Text to animated video works in every language you can type. The maker detects the language of your script and picks a matching AI voice — 49 languages are covered by neural voices, and for anything else you can record your own narration scene by scene. Translating a video is as simple as pasting the translated script into the same project: the pictures, style and music stay; the voice and timing update.
From text to MP4
When the preview looks right, export an MP4 at 720p or 1080p in landscape, vertical or square. The whole thing is rendered on your own computer, which is why there is no queue, no watermark and no cost. Try it now on the animated video maker, or read how to write an animated video script first.
