Handwritten Signature GIF on iPad

Adrian

I would like to have the ability to write a client's name on an iPad at the start of a video as a GIF to customize the experience. This feature would enhance personalization and make the videos more engaging for my clients.

Hi Adrian, thanks for the request. A handwritten signature style GIF from an iPad could be a great way to add a personal touch at the start of a Sendspark video.

To make sure we scope this correctly, can you share a bit more about how you want it to work?

1) Creation flow

Do you want to handwrite the client’s name directly inside Sendspark on iPad, or would uploading a GIF you created elsewhere also work?
Should this be captured live each time you record, or saved as a reusable “signature” asset you can apply to many videos?

2) Placement and timing

Should the handwriting appear as an intro before the video starts, or as an overlay on top of the video?
How long should the animation play, and should it fade out after it finishes?

3) Personalization at scale

Are you looking to do this one by one, or automatically for many recipients (for example via a contact list, CRM, or variables like first name)?
If automated, is it acceptable for the handwriting to be your saved signature style applied to different names, or does each name need to be truly handwritten?

4) Output and compatibility

Where do you primarily use the videos (email, landing pages, LinkedIn, etc.)?
Is GIF required, or would an animated overlay rendered into the video work as well?

If you can answer those, we can narrow down the best approach and what an initial version should include.
