Animation

Animation defines how a caption line appears:

  • None - no animation.
  • Fade - smooth fade in. The text gradually appears from transparent.
  • Slide up - appears from below. The text slides up while fading in.
  • Scale in - appears with scale. The text starts at 80% and scales to 100% while fading in.
  • Pop - bouncy pop. The text appears quickly, slightly overshoots the scale (up to 106%), then returns to normal - it creates a “pop” effect.
  • Blur in - appears with blur. The text starts blurred and lower, then becomes sharp and moves into its final position.
  • Wipe up - wipe from bottom to top. The text is revealed from bottom to top, like a curtain going up.
  • Shake - appears with a shake. The text appears, then quickly shakes left-right a few times and stops.
  • Glow - appears with a glow. The text shows up with a growing glow around the letters.
  • Bounce - bounce. The text softly bounces up and returns to its place.
  • Typewriter - typewriter. The text appears from left to right, like typing - the right side is gradually revealed.
