Text animation maker

Write a few short lines. Get a kinetic typography video back: every line lands on its own animated card, cut on the beat, and your name closes it.

Animate your text

Type your lines. Each sentence becomes its own animated card; you can split them further in the app.

Opens in the Hermoso app with this filled in. Nothing runs until you press Generate, and the app shows the exact price first. Rather ask your AI? Add Hermoso to Claude or ChatGPT and say what you want.

Kinetic typography is text that moves with intent: words rising out of a mask, letters dropping in one by one, a line typing itself out, all landing on the beat. It is how a hook, a quote or a launch announcement holds attention with the sound off. Hermoso makes it from the words you type. No timeline, no keyframes, no template to fight with.

How does the text animation maker work?

  1. Write your lines. One short line per row, up to 12. Each one becomes its own card. Put stars around a word, like *move*, to set it in italics.
  2. Add a name and a tagline, if you want them. The video closes on them.
  3. Pick a colour, the music and the size. Auto uses your brand colour when you have one. 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 or 4:5.
  4. Press the button. The app shows the exact price first. The length follows your words, about a beat or two for each one.

What do the animations look like?

Each card takes a different look, so a run of them never repeats: words rising out of their masks over a drifting field of dots, a short line dropping in letter by letter on paper, a line typed out on your brand colour, and words resolving out of a blur while the camera rolls. The cuts land on the beat of the music, which is measured from the track itself.

Do I need After Effects?

No. There is no timeline to edit. You write the words and the layout, the timing and the motion are done for you. If you want to change a word later, change it and make it again.

What is animated text good for?

  • hooks and openers for TikTok, Reels and Shorts
  • quotes, tips and one-line takes
  • launch and sale announcements
  • ads that have to work with the sound off
  • the title card of a longer video

Can my AI assistant make kinetic typography?

Yes. With the Hermoso MCP connected to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, ask for animated text and the assistant calls make_motion_film with the type recipe and your lines. It quotes the price first and returns the video in one call.
