Other features
- Use as the soundtrack a cool royalty-free loop, an audio file of yours, or a sample from the entire Apple Music catalogue (videos containing popular songs might get blocked when shared online).
- Add customisable audio visualisations.
- Build your design with composition effects and the built-in timeline (check out the stack icon)
- Auto-generate captions from audio files and then animate them with cool transition options.
- Spice up your video adding animated stickers from Giphy.
- Export engaging and optimized animated GIFs.
- And much more!
Instructions
Group your layers properly before running the plugin to give the same combination of effects to multiple elements.
