I'm coming back to the freelancing game after some time building other businesses, and I used to get a lot of content writing clients on Twitter circa 2009. But now Twitter is X and there's a whole ~thing~ with it, and it's kind of a dumpster fire. So, this one is for the freelancers (bonus if ...

I seem to remember an app where you can enter some text/screenshots and it produces a video with some text animations with music etc, like a low budget version of the videos you see on the Apple website. Any suggestions? I'm not looking for apps where you record yourself talking over the screen...
