Questions and answers
How do I make the text easy to read on any background?
Use white or yellow text with a black outline of 8–15%. It stays readable on both light and dark frames.
Can the text appear only for part of the animation?
Yes. Choose “Some frames” and set the first and last frame for the caption.
Can I write more than one line?
Yes. Press Enter for a new line. Long lines also wrap to fit the width of the GIF.
