Gradient DM – Received chat story video maker
Make an animated conversation in the style of Gradient DM – Received. Type the messages and they play out one by one with typing dots, reactions and read receipts, timed so viewers can read along.
Put it on a gradient, a color, your own image or a transparent background. The example reads “haha thank you!! took forever”, “jess.creates”; replace it with your own.
