Templates are just the starting point. Once your plain text is on the timeline, every property is editable—swap the typeface, scale the size, shift the position, change the color, or replace the default animation with a different preset. You can bend text along a curve, set precise in and out timing, or layer multiple text tracks for complex title sequences. The result looks intentional, not templated.
- 💬 Text Positioning & Layering - Stack multiple plain text tracks and control z-order, opacity, and blend mode.
- 🔤 Font & Typography Control - Swap typefaces, adjust tracking, leading, and weight to fit your brand or style.
- ✨ Motion & Timing Precision - Set exact frame-level in/out points and choose from dozens of animation presets.
- 🎨 Color & Outline Options - Apply solid fills, gradients, drop shadows, or outlines to any plain text element.
