Does text animation add value to your video?
Absolutely! Readable text animation is one of the easiest ways to take your video from good to great. Today, more users are watching your video with the sound turned off, so short captions, and text animation can increase your content's reach.
The fonts you use in your videos are important. They set the tone and help you communicate with the 50% of viewers who rely on video captions.
