Text Match Cut / practical resources
Choose a text match cut speed
Start at four cuts per second, then judge whether the focus word is readable at normal playback. This generator offers two, four or eight cuts per second; duration is a separate setting from two to eight seconds.

What changes at each speed?
| Setting | Cuts/s | Interval | Frames per interval at 30 fps | Timing slots |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slow | 2 | 500 ms | 15 | 8 |
| Normal | 4 | 250 ms | 7.5 | 16 |
| Fast | 8 | 125 ms | 3.75 | 32 |
Interval = 1,000 ÷ cuts per second. Timing slots = duration × cuts per second. A slot is a timing position, not a promise of a unique paper design.
Choose pace by the message
- Slow: 2 cuts per second
- A calmer phrase or narration-led section.
- Normal: 4 cuts per second
- A starting point for a short keyword beat.
- Fast: 8 cuts per second
- A quick emphasis where one word carries the meaning.
Begin with Vertical Hook at four cuts per second. Compare it with the Fast Keyword Reveal, then adjust the speed yourself. Template changes do not automatically start a paid generation.
Shorten the clip before making it harder to read
If a four-second effect delays the main footage, try two seconds at the same speed. That changes the time the effect occupies without shortening every reading interval. Increasing from four to eight cuts per second halves each interval while the overall duration stays the same.
Use the explainer storyboard to decide where the keyword beat ends and the supporting footage begins.
Check the moving result
- Update Animation after changing speed or duration so you judge the current settings.
- Watch at normal speed and at the intended screen size, not only on a paused frame.
- Listen with cut clicks on and off if sound is part of the edit.
- Review the downloaded file. Device load and browser encoding can change the delivered timing.
Timing questions
Does eight cuts per second export at eight fps?
No. Cuts per second sets the layout-switching rhythm; export targets 30 video frames per second. They describe different things.
How can an interval contain 7.5 frames?
That number is a nominal average: 30 ÷ 4. Encoded video frames are discrete, so it does not mean the file contains half a frame or every interval lasts exactly that long.
Will a faster setting always look better?
No. Choose a slower rhythm if the word becomes difficult to follow or rapid changes feel uncomfortable. The effect should support the message.
