## Abstract

Described are systems and methods for generating personalized videos with customized text messages. An example method may commence with receiving a video template. The video template may include a sequence of frame images and preset text parameters defining an animation of a text. The method may continue with generating a configuration file based on the text and the preset text parameters. The configuration file may include text parameters defining rendering the text for each of the frame images. The method may further include receiving an input text and rendering an output video comprising the sequence of frame images featuring the input text rendered according to the text parameters. The rendering may be performed based on the configuration file. The method may continue with sending the output video to a further computing device via a communication chat.

dynamically changing, in the output video, the position of the input text and replacing, in the output video, the input text with the new input text; and
sending, by the computing device, the output video to a further computing device via a communication chat.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the preset text parameters include a font of the preset text and a color of the preset text in at least one of the frame images.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising, prior to the sending the output video to a further computing device, automatically translating the input text from a first language used on the computing device into a second language used on the further computing device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the visual effects include one or more of the following: a letter animation of an appearance, displaying the preset text along a path, displaying copies of the preset text, compression of the preset text, slicing of the preset text, a directional appearance of the preset text, a randomized letter appearance, a distortion and scaling of the preset text, gradient fill of the preset text, adding a shadow and a glow to the preset text, adding directional glow to the preset text, a flash appearance of the preset text, adding a perspective shadow to the preset text, applying a dynamic glow to the preset text, displaying a distorted shadow or an outline of the preset text, outlining the preset text, and applying colored font assets to the preset text.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the text parameters include one or more of the following: a scale of the preset text, a rotation of the preset text, a color of the preset text, a number of lines of the preset text, and a maximum length of the preset text.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein rendering the output video includes:
generating, based on the configuration file, glyphs of the input text; and
generating a layer including the glyphs.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein rendering the output video includes splitting the input text into the number of lines.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the scale is adjusted based on a global scale, the global scale being determined to fit the input text into boundaries of the frame images in the sequence.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising, prior to sending the output video, playing back, by the computing device, the output video in a full screen mode.

### Claim 10

A system for generating personalized videos with customized text messages, the system comprising at least one processor and a memory storing processor-executable codes, wherein the at least one processor is configured to implement the following operations upon executing the processor-executable codes:
receiving, by a computing device, a video template including:
a sequence of frame images; and
preset text parameters defining an animation of a preset text, wherein the preset text parameters describe visual effects applied to the preset text; and
