<rant> I cannot wait for the "everything needs to be a small looping video clip" fad to go away.

Video clips of typing make no sense. The animation is distracting, it provides no useful information, and they always either loop too quickly (frustrating me because I lose my place and have to wait for the whole thing to come back), or go too slowly (frustrating me because it won't hurry up). A 3 second loop is great for a hamster meme, it's not great for displaying text that I want to read.

It's like an entire group of people completely misunderstood why GIF animations were despised and died off.

Seriously, what value are these video clips adding? </rant>




Did you actually click on the link in OP?


You can pause and edit the code inline...


You can also skip to the end and mess with the finished code via the progress bar and edit button if you don't care for the explanation.
