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
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.
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.
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.
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.

Text is the surface ReelMy has the most reach over — it can restyle a single word inside a headline without touching the rest.

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