Usage

The standard format of a typingvid command is the following:

typingvid -t TEXT [-l LAYOUT] [-o OUTPUT] [OPTIONS]

To see all available options, use:

typingvid --help

For example:

typingvid -t "hello world"

will generate an animation video using the default layout (en) and store it at the default output location (output.mp4).

The extension of the OUTPUT variable (option -o) defines the type of the output file. For example, to generate a simple GIF:

typingvid -t "lorem ipsum" -o "/path/to/file.gif"
