Yeah, 100%. Just having something to move around catches the eye. Cheap trick but works - that's why most short videos have subtitles.

I love this idea. Problem is: it competes with "Hey Claude, take this diagram and animate it". The results are different (worse / better in different regards), but you can modify it more to your liking.

Maybe I'm not seeing the exact use case. I was very close to buying the plan (3 usd / m is a steal), but with Claude I can be more specific what I want.

Short videos have subtitles for engagement with those watching without sound (a significant proportion)

it depends, if I want to create and edit graph fast, make sure style is consistent etc. then this suits my needs better.
