Text & Typography

The deepest text engine in a video app, not a caption box

Most video tools give you a font, a colour, and a shadow. ReelM gives you a typography engine: per-character animators, real variable-font axes, letters knocked out of a card so the footage reads through, and rich runs where one word in a sentence carries its own style.

[How it works]

Text & Typography in three moves

01

Start from a preset

116 presets across 12 categories — headings, editorial, cinematic, neon, retro, social, tech — each a full style stack, not just a font choice.

02

Make it yours

Swap the fill for a gradient or an image, stack strokes and shadows, add a glow, put it on an arc, or knock the letters out of a background card.

03

Animate the characters

The per-character animator staggers position, scale, rotation, blur, tracking, colour, and reveal across characters, words, or lines.

[Under the hood]

Built to be used, not just demoed

The details that separate a party trick from a tool you reach for daily.

8 CAPABILITIES

Rich text runs

Style a substring inside a block — one word bold and branded, the rest untouched — edited inline on the canvas.

Frame knockout fill

Cut the letters out of a solid card so the video underneath shows through the type, with optional backdrop blur and blend mode.

Stacked strokes & shadows

Not one stroke — a list. Each layer has its own width, colour, and alignment; each shadow its own blur, distance, angle, and spread.

Real variable fonts

Drive wght, wdth, slnt, and opsz axes directly, and toggle OpenType features like liga, smcp, ss01, and tnum.

Text on a path

Arc and circle presets for quick curves, or supply an arbitrary SVG path and choose baseline or perpendicular alignment.

Data-driven counters

Count from one value to another as a number, currency, percent, timecode, or compact form — with decimals, prefix, suffix, and separator.

Hand-drawn annotations

Rough-notation underlines, boxes, circles, highlights, strike-throughs and brackets that draw on over a set duration.

Bring your own font

Upload woff2, ttf, or otf and it loads into the composition — and into the render — exactly as it does in the preview.

[Questions]

Text & Typography, answered

Yes. Search the full Google Fonts set by exact family name, or upload your own woff2, ttf, or otf file.

Yes — the preview and the export run the same composition code, so the frame you approve is the frame that ships.

Yes. Direction can be set to LTR, RTL, or auto per text item, with kerning and baseline shift available either way.
