# Rotato Video Editor

> Text-field-based web tool for generating animated promo videos

Rotato Video Editor lets you build promotional videos simply by typing lines of text and inserting media into a document-style text interface. Each text block and media element turns into an animated slide clip with customizable soundtracks and aspect ratios. It allows quick generation of short product demos and social announcements without navigating a complex timeline.
