1 animated word reveal design for YouTube videos
A sentence whose words enter one by one, with the words you choose in the accent color. Type your sentence, pick the words to emphasize, choose a theme and export a clip for your video edit.
Theme
Style
A word reveal is how you make one sentence land: each word enters on its own beat, and the words that matter take the accent color and a small pulse. It suits quotes, key takeaways, countdowns like "58 days until Election Day" and the line you want people to remember from the video.
What you can change
- The sentence, and the list of words to emphasize (matched without regard to case or punctuation).
- The theme (or your own brand colors and font), the text size and the animation preset, which sets the pace of the reveal.
In the edit
Export a transparent MOV to reveal the sentence over your own footage, or an MP4 as a full-frame card. Both play in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro and CapCut, in landscape or portrait.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose which words are highlighted?
- List them in the accent words field. Every matching word in the sentence takes the accent color and a pulse; matching ignores case and punctuation.
- How long can the sentence be?
- Keep it to one line's worth of words, around 8 to 12. The element sizes the text to fit, but a short sentence reads best at YouTube sizes and gives each word its own beat.
- Can I reveal the words over my own footage?
- Yes. Export as a transparent MOV and place it on a track above your video; the words appear one by one with nothing behind them.
- Can I speed the reveal up or slow it down?
- Yes. The animation preset sets the pace of the reveal, and you can change the clip duration before exporting.
