Technical Tips
- Font File Management
Organize your font files in dedicated folders on your device or cloud storage. Label them clearly so you can easily find and import them when working on various projects in Alight Motion. This will save you time scrolling through your file system.
- Test Fonts Before Importing
Some fonts only render perfectly on some devices or in some projects. Test fonts on a sample project to ensure they display correctly, especially if you are using complex or decorative fonts such as Hindi Fonts.
- Optimize Font Performance
Using high-quality fonts that are well-optimized can prevent potential slowdowns, especially when working with large or intricate text animations. Stick to trusted sources when downloading fonts to avoid performance hiccups.
- Consider Font Size & Resolution
Ensure that the font size you choose scales well with your project’s resolution. Fonts that look sharp in small resolutions may not hold up well in 4K or higher resolutions. Always preview your text in various resolutions to avoid pixelation or blurring.
- Backup Your Fonts
If you frequently switch devices or reinstall apps, keeping a backup of your custom fonts in cloud storage is a must. This way, you won’t need to download and import fonts every time you start a new project on a different device.
