Can I write the whole conversation?

Yes. You type each message and choose who sends it; the animation spaces them out so they can be read. Long chats keep scrolling up like a real phone.

Do they look like a specific app?

No, on purpose: they are generic designs without logos or brand colors, so you can use them in any video without pretending to be a real screenshot.

Do I need After Effects?

No. Every template is edited in your browser: type your text, choose colors and format (16:9, 9:16 or 1:1), watch the live preview and export.

What do I export, and does it work in my editor?

Most templates export as a ProRes 4444 .mov with a transparent background, which you place on a track above your clip in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro. You can also export an MP4 with your own clip behind it. Always in Full HD.

Editing and previewing are free and need no account. To export you sign in with Google; during the open beta, new accounts get export credits at no cost.

Text Message and Phone Notification Animations for Videos

Storytime, true crime and «and then I got this message» videos all need the same shot: the conversation, readable, at the pace of your voice. The phone conversation drops messages in one by one with timestamps and read ticks; they sit at the bottom and push the old ones up, like a real app. If you just need the exchange without a phone, the chat bubbles alternate sides with their tails pointing at whoever is talking.

For the moment something arrives, the lock-screen notification falls in from the top with a small bounce over the big clock, and the glass notifications stack up to three at a time, newest on top. The voice message plays with its waveform lighting up as the time runs, and the emergency call shows a transcript next to a recording clock, in a serious tone.

Streamers can show a live chat where a paid message drops on top, sellers a run of «new sale» notifications with the day's total rolling up, and anyone the keyboard seen from above, keys sinking as the text appears. Everything is generic, with no app's logo, and exports transparent so it sits over your footage or your own phone shot.
