What is the holographic cotton candy effect?
The holographic effect fills your caption text with a scrolling, animated pastel gradient — think the iridescent shimmer of a holographic foil card, a prism casting rainbows, or the dreamlike color palette of cotton candy. Pinks blend into purples, into sky blues, into mint greens, and back again in a continuous flowing loop.
AuraCaptions renders this effect frame by frame using a dynamic texture map that scrolls over the text shape. The result is permanently composited into your video by FFmpeg — so it plays exactly as designed on any device, any platform.
