About this tool

What does the tool do?

Text Match Cut is a browser-based editor for short newspaper-style text animations. A phrase stays centered while the surrounding layouts change. Use the result as an opening title, chapter card or transition in a larger video project.

What can I create?

Enter 1–80 characters and adjust the aspect ratio, highlight color, zoom, blur and optional synthesized clicks or paper rustles. You can shuffle the layouts. The current editor creates 4-second clips at 8 cuts per second; duration, cut speed and typeface do not have user controls. Typography comes from the built-in layouts. Preview starts paused so you can choose when to play the animation.

Supported exports use 30 frames per second and one of three sizes: portrait 1080×1920, landscape 1920×1080 or square 1080×1080. MP4 uses H.264 video; WebM uses VP9. These are compressed exports, not lossless files. Encoding and optional audio depend on browser and device support. Check the downloaded clip in your editing software before publishing.

Are the newspapers real?

The surrounding article text and publication names are fictional demonstration material. They are decorative layouts, not real reporting, historical evidence or endorsements. Do not use them to imply press coverage of a person, product or business.

Where is my content processed?

The current editor processes text, animation and video export on your device. No account, payment or cloud generation request is required. This version does not offer cloud project storage or backup; save the downloaded files yourself. The hosting service still receives normal website requests, as explained in the privacy policy.

What are the limits?

This is a short-effect editor, not a full video editing suite. Add your own footage, narration, music and final transitions in your editing software. Rendering time varies by device and settings. Fast cuts may be uncomfortable; check the complete video with your audience in mind and adjust its timing in your video editor if needed. The tool does not promise improved retention, views or reach.

Technical reference

The W3C WebCodecs specification (working draft) defines browser audio and video codec interfaces but does not require support for any particular codec. That is why preview and export support can differ.
