Highlighting one phrase is the cheapest way to make a point land.
One sentence, one marker stroke drawn across the words that matter, in your colours. It saves keyframing a growing rectangle in an editor and lining it up with the words by hand.

Frequently asked questions
How do I animate a highlighter over text?
Type the sentence, mark the words to highlight, then pick the pen colour and the colour the text turns underneath it. The stroke draws across on render, the way a real marker would.
Can I change the highlighter colour?
Yes. The highlight colour, the ink colour under the highlight and the base text colour are separate fields, so the marked words can read differently from the rest of the line.
Can I put highlighted text over my own footage?
Export it as a WebM with a transparent background and it sits on top of your video with nothing to key out.
