Kinetic typography

Kinetic typography generator prompts

Kinetic typography is animated text that uses timing, position, scale, and rhythm to make words feel alive. AI can help, but the prompt must protect readability first.

Best uses for kinetic typography

Prompt example

Create a 7-second kinetic typography animation for the phrase "[your phrase]". Use a clean editorial style, high contrast, and [brand color] accents. Reveal the first three words quickly, enlarge the most important word, add a subtle underline motion, then hold the full phrase centered for 1.5 seconds. Keep all words readable on a phone screen.

Readable typography rules

Use fewer words per scene than you think you need.
Make the most important word the largest object on screen.
Hold the final phrase long enough to read twice.
Avoid rotating long sentences or placing small type near video edges.
Use motion to clarify hierarchy, not to decorate every word equally.
