Your line stays in this tab — no account, no upload. No soundtrack is added.

Idle — type a word or short line to begin.

01 · Examples

Three lines, three cuts — load one and make it yours.

real output · 4s loop

“fresh start” start

A vertical opener — the focus word holds while the page resets around it.

9:16 · 4/s
real output · 4s loop

“clear focus” focus

Wide frame for explainers — a chapter beat that reads at a glance.

16:9 · 4/s
real output · 4s loop

“markets move fast” move

Fast rhythm — eight cuts a second for a punchier beat.

9:16 · 8/s

These clips were rendered by the same layout system the bench uses. Loading one replaces the text in the bench above.

02 · Two paths

Same anchored word. Two ways to dress the page.

free · no account

Three original paper styles, drawn and encoded locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, no credits are spent, and the same settings always reproduce the same cut.

  • 3 original styles in this build — 8 planned across paid plans
  • 3 ratios · 2–8 seconds · 3 cut rhythms
  • Text, focus word and canvas never leave the tab

AI Style

10 credits · 3 backgrounds

Describe a paper or collage background — “warm grey paper, blue ink stains” — and an image model draws three candidates. This app then sets your words on top, so spelling, anchoring and rhythm stay exact.

  • The AI draws backgrounds — it never spells your focus word
  • Only your style description is sent to the AI provider
  • Failed runs release the credits back, automatically
  • Reusing a background for new words costs nothing

03 · Styles

Three original papers, drawn from scratch.

Rough Sheet

№ 1 · free

A simulated newspaper spread — column bars, sharp rules, a kicker line and a stamped corner.

Field Notes

№ 2 · free

Graph paper, a red margin line and small mono annotations — a page from a lab notebook.

Blue Ledger

№ 3 · free

Ruled ledger lines and narrow entry rows kept in cool blue ink, balanced to the pixel.

3 rhythms

Slow 2 cuts/s, Normal 4, Fast 8 — a fixed, deterministic pattern either way.

3 ratios · 2–8s

9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 at 1080p, 30 fps; whole-second lengths from two to eight.

5 more planned

Starter & Pro list eight presets — the remaining five aren't drawn yet, so they stay off this page.

Credits, precisely

10 credits buy one generation: 3 backgrounds plus the first working preview. Downloads, re-exports and reusing a background with new words cost nothing. If a run fails, the credits release back automatically — visible in your ledger.

Expiry, stated up front

Gift credits last 7 days. Subscription credits last until the end of the billing period — no rollover. Bought packs last 12 months, shown before you pay. Cancelling keeps your paid period and your bought packs.

Refunds

Planned policy: a full refund within 7 days of a first subscription payment if that period's paid AI credits are unused; credit packs refundable within 7 days if untouched. Failed generations return credits — separate from a cash refund.

Subscriptions are not available yet. Checkout, accounts and credit ledgers are not enabled. Plan buttons show availability information instead of a payment page. Style counts and limits follow the launch plan; if fewer than 8 styles ship, the page won't claim 8.

05 · How it works

Three steps, and the third one is your editor — not ours.

  1. 1

    Type the line, mark the word

    Up to 8 words and 40 characters. Tap the word that becomes the anchor — every cut keeps it in the same spot.

  2. 2

    Pick a template — or an AI background

    Three free paper styles render locally. Or describe a background, spend 10 credits on three candidates, and this app sets your words on top. Preview the exact layout the export will use.

  3. 3

    Export, then check your editor

    Download the file and import it into your editor. The spec panel tells you the real container, size and frame rate before you commit.

06 · Output, in plain terms

What the file is — and what it isn't.

One clip per export
A 2–8 second text-effect clip with your focus word anchored in place. Silent, unless you switch on synthesized cut clicks.
Deterministic
Same line, same settings, same revision — same layout, every time.
Local templates
Template text is rendered in this tab. It is not uploaded, logged, or used for training.
Honest about format
If your browser can encode MP4, you get MP4. If it can only do WebM, we say so before you export.
Not a video editor
No timelines, no trimming, no full-video assembly. Bring your own editor.
Not a news generator
The paper is simulated and the filler is invented. It is not a real front page.
Not an AI text guesser
AI draws background art only. Your words are always set by this app — spelled right, anchored, on beat.
Not a promise machine
No claims about growth, speed records, or beating other tools. Judge the clip itself.

Your clips are yours to use — the layouts, filler text and fonts are made for it. AI backgrounds can carry artifacts; their commercial use follows the provider's terms.

07 · FAQ

Questions, answered without adjectives.

A rapid sequence of layouts where one word — the focus — stays in the same position on screen while everything around it changes. Creators use it as a visual beat to land a keyword. This tool makes the paper-collage variety of that effect.

08 · Rights & data

The small print, printed large enough to read.

Privacy

Template clips are rendered in your browser. Your text and clips are not uploaded by the template tool. Read our Privacy Policy for hosting, font requests and support information.

Terms, briefly

The clips you make are yours to use in your edits. Don't present the simulated layouts as real news coverage, and only input text you have the right to use. Template art, fonts and filler copy are original to this tool; AI backgrounds follow the provider's terms.
