Display Modes

Display mode controls how words appear over time. There are three options:

Puffy

Puff · word

Word-by-Word

Each word appears individually as it's spoken. Clean, rhythmic, and great for fast-paced content where you want every word to land.

Chunk Highlight

Groups of words appear together while a color highlight sweeps across each word as it's spoken. Keeps the viewer oriented without losing flow.

Cinematic Power

Anton · chunk instant

Chunk Instant

Full chunks appear all at once without a sweeping highlight. Bold, cinematic, and works especially well with large fonts.

Word Effects

Apply a visual effect to any individual word — or randomize effects across all words for an energetic feel. Effects layer on top of the display mode.

Tap

Quick scale pop on the word.

Slide

Word slides in from the top.

Ping

Ripple ring pulses out.

Typewriter

Characters type in one-by-one.

Comic Underline

Squiggly underline draws on.
