Handwriting Animation Video Maker FAQ
What does ConvertBuddy Handwriting Animation Video Maker do?
It turns typed or pasted text into animated writing scenes. You can choose handwriting styles, pens, pencils, markers, feather quills, optional writing hands, backgrounds, scenes, audio and export settings.
Does the extension require an account?
No account is required for the local project workflow.
Which writing instruments are included?
The visual pen picker includes ballpoint, fountain pen, pencil, marker, chalk, brush and three feather quills: White & Gold, Peacock and Burgundy.
Can I make vertical handwriting videos for Shorts?
Yes. The editor supports a 9:16 vertical canvas as well as 16:9 landscape, 1:1 square and 4:5 portrait.
Can I export a handwriting video in 4K?
The export panel includes Full HD and 4K video quality options. Export speed depends on the computer, browser, project length and selected format.
Does MP4 work in every Chrome environment?
The extension checks browser MediaRecorder support. If direct MP4 encoding is not available, it can fall back to WebM.
Can handwriting videos include audio?
User-selected audio and voice recordings can be used with video projects. Animated GIF files are silent because GIF does not contain an audio track.
Where are projects stored?
The extension uses Chrome storage for local project data and preferences. It requests the storage permission in its Manifest V3 package.
Can I use my own background image?
Yes. Choose a browser-supported local image, select how it fits the canvas and adjust shading so the writing stays readable.
Can I save a backup of a project?
Yes. Projects support JSON backup and restore so you can keep a portable copy of project settings and scene data.
