Kicker Title
A small line above a large one. The editorial standby.
A title card owns the whole frame for a second or two, which is what separates it from every other graphic here. It names a chapter, opens a section, or carries a quote — and then it leaves, because a card that outstays its welcome is one people learn to skip.

How this one is built
Kicker Title is built from 2 text layers and 1 shape, using a shadow 22 pixels deep. Its colours are green, near-black and white. Type is set in Inter.
The kicker rises into place at 0.1s, the title rises into place at 0.3s, the rule scales up at 0.6s. The whole run is 5s at 60 frames a second.
It sits through the middle of the frame of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 54% of the width at 1032×199 pixels.
What to do with it
- Make it yoursChange the words, the colours and the timing without breaking the animation that was built for the shape.
- Export it with transparencyWhich format your editor actually reads, and why a black rectangle behind your graphic means the wrong one was chosen.
- Keep it inside the safe areaA card owns the frame, and the frame is cropped differently on a television than on a phone. What has to survive both is the middle of it.
- What exporting costsOpening this template, changing it and watching it back are free. Getting the finished file out is $5 once for this project, or a plan if you make them often.
