The Problem
Fake text conversations in video shouldn't take hours.
If you've ever tried to recreate a text conversation for a video, you know how painful it is.

Screenshot Stacking
Taking real screenshots, cropping, masking, and manually arranging them frame by frame. No animation, no timing control, and it looks obviously fake.

Manual Shape Layers

No Scroll Animation
Static message layouts with no reveal, no typing indicators, no scroll. Your audience can tell it's fake because nothing moves naturally.
