Does it support custom fonts and colors?

Yes, it provides full styling references for ASS/SSA headers including Fontname, Fontsize, and Hex-based Primary/Secondary colors.

How does this skill handle different time units in FFmpeg?

It provides a clear reference and conversion logic for centiseconds (karaoke), milliseconds (animations), and seconds (drawtext expressions) to prevent timing bugs.

Can this be used for social media captions?

Absolutely, it includes patterns for typewriter effects, bouncing text, and multi-line animated text perfect for modern social media video styles.

What is the difference between \k and \kf tags in karaoke?

\k provides an instant fill for syllables, which is best for rap or fast delivery, while \kf creates a smooth, progressive fill ideal for long notes in ballads.

Can I create complex physics-based motion with text?

Yes, the skill includes specific mathematical formulas for spring physics, elastic overshoots, and ease-in-out approximations using the drawtext filter.
