Chapter Title Card with Italic Serif After Effects Template

Chapter Title Card with Italic Serif is a dramatic story text title template for After Effects, designed for filmmakers, editors and YouTube creators. A small "chapter one" line between thin rules leads into a bold italic chapter name, ideal for splitting films, series and video essays into parts. Drop it into short films, documentaries or teasers for an instant big screen feel. Use it as a title intro, a text intro or a trailer title; the animated titles keep their cinematic look at any size.

All two text layers are editable, so you can rewrite the headline and detail lines. No digging through precomps: global size and placement, text colors and offsets, plus the color of the thin decorative lines all sit on the CONTROL PANEL layer. Black letterbox mattes, darkening, vignette, grain, fade from black and a slow push-in zoom are all one click away. If you need a plain backdrop, enable the gradient background and pick two colors; disable it to see your own shot behind the text.

It is the kind of professional title opener you see in blockbuster trailers, ready for your own story. Footage from the preview video is not supplied; just swap the DELETE THIS LAYER placeholder for a clip from your own project. Running time: about 8.4 seconds; resolution: 3840x2160 4K; frame rate: 60 fps. Only built-in After Effects effects are used, so you need After Effects 2023 or newer and no plugins. Fonts come from Adobe Fonts and Google Fonts, both easy to activate. Setup is simple thanks to the included tutorial PDF and a font sheet with download links. It belongs to a series of cinematic titles, release cards and story titles designed to work together. Available to Typoanim Premium members with a license for business and client work.
