AI agent for motion graphics designers
Kinetic Type Readability Check Agent
All animated text readable on target screens
What it does
Animated text that flashes by too fast or disappears against a bright background wastes the message. For each draft render, this agent finds every text element and measures how long it is fully readable, its size at the target screen sizes, and its contrast with the background frame by frame. It compares reading time with word count, since viewers need time per word. It also checks the safe areas for each platform. Text that fails is listed with a timecode and a suggested fix, such as holding two more frames or adding a shadow. After the designer revises, it renders a check pass and runs the checks again. The designer approves the result. Edge case: text over moving video is checked across the whole hold, not just the first frame.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Draft render exported
- Load the render and target platform specs
- Detect text elements and their timing
- Measure hold time, size, contrast and safe areas
- List failures with timecodes and fixes
- Does the revised render pass all checks?If not: list the remaining failures and wait for a new render. Back to step 4.
- Does text over moving video stay readable for the whole hold?If not: suggest a shadow or backing and recheck. Back to step 4.

How it decides
It needs enough hold time per word, minimum size on the smallest screen and contrast across the hold.
- At least 0.3 seconds per word plus 0.5 seconds
- Contrast checked through the whole hold
- Text must sit inside platform safe areas
