Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. It is a static page with no server to pay for, so there is nothing to charge for.

Where does my text go?

The video is drawn and recorded inside your browser. A copied link contains your phrase after the # symbol; that part is not sent to the host. Anyone you send the link to can read the phrase.

MP4 or WebM?

MP4 where your browser can record it, WebM otherwise. The file name tells you which you got.

Why did my video stutter?

MP4 uses a frame-exact encoder when supported. WebM and fallback exports record in real time: keep the tab in front until it says Saved.

Can I use it for client work?

Yes. Do not use it to pass off invented headlines or quotes as real ones.
