Rescroll

Free tweet-style video maker

Turn a short text post into a video clip: name, handle and time on one line, the post typing itself out, then the like count climbing. Download it as a 1080p MP4. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.

The basics

What is a tweet-style video?

A tweet-style video is a clip of a short text post, laid out the way posts in a feed usually look, shown on screen over or between other footage. It's a common way to open a video on a one-line opinion, read out a post and react to it, or set up a joke.

This page opens on the Short post layout: the avatar sits beside the post, the name, @handle and time share one line, and the counts sit under the text. The post types itself out letter by letter on a dark card, then the heart pops and the likes climb from 9,420 to 12.8K.

The design is generic: no logo, no app's icons and no verified badge. Switch the card to Light, or the text to Appears, in the Card panel.

To put it on your video, see how to add a social post animation in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.

How it works

How to make a tweet-style video.

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Write the post

    Type a display name, an @handle and the post itself, up to 280 characters. Add a time line such as 9:41 AM · Mar 3, or leave it empty to hide it.

  2. 2

    Set the counts

    Enter the replies and reposts, then the likes the post starts with and the number they climb to after the heart is tapped.

  3. 3

    Pick the card and the look

    Full post or Short post, a light or dark card, text that appears or types in, where it sits and how big it is. Then one of six looks, or your own background color.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The video is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device. No account, no watermark.

When a social post animation isn’t enough

The free social post animation is the starting point.

Here you get one post card on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you want, like “slide in the three replies I read out, each one as I say it, then zoom into the last”, attach screenshots of the real posts, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the exact word you say. Change anything by asking in the chat.

Questions

Tweet-style video: your questions, answered.

How do I make a tweet-style video?

This page opens on one. Type the name, handle, time and your post, set the counts and press Download for a 1080p MP4 of the post typing itself out and the likes climbing.

Is this tool affiliated with X or Twitter?

No. Rescroll isn't affiliated with or endorsed by X Corp. The card is a generic design of our own, with no logo, no app's icons and no verified badge.

Can I make a post that looks like a real person wrote it?

Don't. Use it for your own posts, for characters in a skit or a story, and for parody that's plainly parody. Don't pass the result off as a real post, and don't put words in a real person's mouth or under a real account that didn't write them.

Can I make a dark mode post video?

Yes. This page opens on a dark card already. The Card setting switches between Light and Dark, and on the colored looks a dark card picks up the look's tint.

How do I make the text type itself out?

Set Text to Types in. The post appears letter by letter with a cursor, taking at most 2.8 seconds however long it is, then the counts arrive and the heart pops.

Is the social post maker free?

Yes. It's free to use and free to download, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the video. There's no limit on how many you make.

What format and resolution is the video?

An MP4 with H.264 video, at 1080p in the shape you choose: 1080×1920 (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1920×1080 (16:9) for YouTube, 1080×1080 (1:1), or 1080×1350 (4:5) for the Instagram feed. You can export at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Can I get the social post animation with a transparent background?

MP4 can't store transparency, so the social post animation comes ready to key instead. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key in your editor. Only the social post animation is left over your footage.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The social post animation is drawn and encoded on your own device, using your browser's built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no render queue.

Can I use the social post animation in client work, ads or monetized videos?

Yes. The video you download is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution needed.

Can I match my brand, add my logo or change the design?

Not in the free maker, which is deliberately simple. That's what Rescroll's AI motion graphics are for: describe the graphic you want in plain English, attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Ask for any change in the chat. It's part of the Pro, Ultimate and Scale plans.
