The sentence "Made for builders." appears in dark text. Then a yellow marker block sweeps in from left to right behind the highlighted phrase, like someone running a highlighter over it, and the phrase's text color can change at the same time. It plays in about three seconds and leaves the highlight in place.

You can write the text before and after the phrase, change the phrase, and pick the marker, base and highlighted text colors, plus the font size, weight and playback speed. Use it for key messages, quotes, study and course videos, and claims you want viewers to remember.
