Location Plate
City name over a solid caption plate, marker dropped at the left.
A location callout names the place a shot was filmed, and does it in the second or two before the viewer wonders. A marker, the city, and a line of context — the standard opening of a travel sequence.

How this one is built
Location Plate is built from 2 text layers, 1 shape and 1 image, using a shadow 26 pixels deep. Its colours are white, near-black and blue. Type is set in Inter.
The marker rises into place at 0.2s, the caption plate slides in at 0.5s, the caption slides in at 0.6s, the city rises into place at 0.6s. The whole run is 6s at 60 frames a second.
It sits through the middle of the frame of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 33% of the width at 642×221 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 clear of the edgesWhat YouTube covers, on a phone and on a television, and how much margin a title needs to survive both.
- 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.
