Hey Dev, it really looks good, but the idea was to show how to do it without JS: just html and CSS.
Happy Coding!!!

Good tutorial and cool text effect 👍 However huge, orange font and other distractive pop-up elements in video are non-professional and looks like PewDiePie content.

I appreciate your feedback, I am a programmer and not a filmmaker, I still have a lot to learn about video editing, I apologize and I will try to improve it.
In the future, I think about outsourcing video editing and doing what I love: programming.
