DrawTextPath can help you quickly generate text path tracing animation video with one click. We often see in the video text edge animation, which is the kind of animation effect video as if the text is written by someone with a pen stroke by stroke. This animation effect of handwritten text video DrawTextPath can help you achieve. Input text, and set the size of the text, font and color, text from scratch to a stroke of the animated video is completed. Is it super simple? Font, text size, text spacing, text color, background color, edge width, brush size, pen style, edge animation time, horizontal and vertical screen mode can be set according to need. The generated video can be added as green screen video to video editing apps (such as MovieSpirit) and other video photo music materials for synthesis.
