Tips & Best Practices
Pro Tip
For lyric videos, combine Text with keyframe animations on position and opacity to create smooth text transitions. Use the stroke and shadow properties to ensure text remains readable against any background. For a neon glow effect, add a stroke with blur and pair with the Bloom post-processing effect.
