I’ve worked on a small tool to animate and record variable fonts. The Variable Font Animator – A drawing interface makes animating and testing variable fonts easy and fun. You can even record videos directly in your browser. There is no need to take a screen capture anymore. That way you can specify the final video format on the fly.
