Template Features:
Text Layers- Every title effect is on its own individual text layer, so editing the text is a cinch. You can change the font to any font in your library. Text layers also allow for Text Animators to be used, so you can keyframe the tracking, fill, stroke, and other character properties.
Searchable- The title effects are indexed with keywords, so you can search for the effect you're looking for right inside of After Effects. You can also browse through all 200 titles in the included PDF file, or in the Title Effects Preview video: https://youtu.be/KlxJPb9sHGA.
Finished Animations- Included are five ready-to-render scenes, with a title, camera motion, and background. Simply drop in your logo or edit the text and quickly get a high-quality 3D animation.
3D Effects- Included are a variety of 3D-extruded titles and 3D effects. Edit the orientation of extrusions with a slider control, or flip a switch, and the 3D text will work with your camera layer.
Transferrable effects- This template comprises a diverse library of custom effects that can enhance your motion graphics and videos. Sure, you can copy effects from one title to another, but these effects aren’t just for text... they can be used in a variety of ways by the resourceful editor. The effects include fire, sparks, smoke, slime, bullet holes, ink bleeds, dripping liquid, clouds, glitch, VHS, and old film effects.
Customization- Each layer is loaded with slider controls for customizing the title's features. Controls can be keyframed to create dynamic, animated titles. Every title includes a default animation and/or opening transition effect.
Variety- Sometimes you need a title that looks like snow, candy, the wild west, or some other theme (this template has you covered). But sometimes designers just want normal, professional-looking text. 50 of the 200 titles are “Generic” titles, which are lighter on the themes, but still shiny and beautiful!
Textures and Backgrounds- Included are 80 high-resolution texture images to use with your titles, as well as 200 backgrounds, as seen in the Title Effects Preview video: https://youtu.be/KlxJPb9sHGA
Global Lighting- All the bevels, shadows, and highlights on each title are controlled by a single “Light Angle” control. Or... you can flip a switch, and the light angle will be determined by the position of your light layer.
Scalable- Titles can be scaled up fit your 4K projects and motion designs.
