Typewriter Video

Generate clean typewriter-style text animations from a YAML config.

What It Does

• Types text onto the screen with a solid caret while typing
• Blinks the caret during the hold period at the end
• Supports multiline text, per-segment colors, bold text, and automatic line wrapping
• Renders directly to MP4 with ffmpeg

Quick Start

python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
.venv/bin/python render_typewriter_video.py example_config.yaml

The config lives in example_config.yaml. Edit that file, then run the script with its path.

Requirements

• Python 3
• ffmpeg
