Ken Burns Motion Effects
Each sentence gets a smooth zoom, in or out, so the frame is always subtly moving, and never the same direction twice in a row. Prefer something calmer?

Mark Your Key Lines
You know which lines are the payoff. Tap them before you render and Doodrio makes them land: a weightier, slightly slower voice delivery, their key words pop in the captions, and a short punchline can jump to a full-screen text card between scenes. It's not AI and it costs nothing.

- ✓Weightier voice delivery on the lines that matter
- ✓Marked words emphasised in the captions
- ✓Free on every plan — no AI, no extra credits
