Text Match Cut

Done by hand, the effect where one word holds still while newspaper pages flicker around it is an evening of lining up text layers frame by frame. Text Match Cut starts from a sentence of up to 160 characters. You click the word or short phrase that should stay put, and the tool generates newspaper, book or typewriter pages that change around it.

Normally the video renders in the browser, and no account is needed. When a browser cannot encode it, the page asks before it sends the sentence and settings to a server. The privacy policy says those temporary files are deleted after about an hour.

Pacing sets how frantic the cuts feel, and zoom and blur can be adjusted as well. An optional synthesized sound, for instance a paper rustle, can mark each cut. The export is a finished clip, and anything else, music and captions included, goes on afterwards in an editor such as CapCut or Premiere.
