GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. Simply put, these are moving images that often contain a text layer displaying subtitles for the clip. Usually, GIFs don’t contain sound, but some platforms do support GIFs with audio playback.
Descript’s Fancy Captions offer a number of different fonts so your GIF text matches the style that you’re going for. Once you have the Fancy Captions text editor pulled up, choose the font that’s perfect for your clip. If you’re a Descript Pro subscriber, you can import your own fonts to match your brand. Resize the text box and change the text color with the text tool or add text effects to create your perfect new gif.
For GIFs created on a Descript Creator or Pro plan, exports come watermark-free. GIFs created on Descript’s Free plan come with a Descript logo watermark.
