About this template

Directed By Opening Credit Title is a modern film credit title template for After Effects, designed for filmmakers, editors and YouTube creators. A small "directed by" line and a large light condensed name make a strong director credit for openings and end cards. Drop it into short films, music videos or student films for an instant big screen feel. It works as an opening title, a trailer text or part of your end credits, with the smooth animation of real film titles.

All two text layers are editable, so you can rewrite the credit label and names. No digging through precomps: global size and placement, text colors and offsets all sit on the CONTROL PANEL layer. For the movie look you get letterbox bars (on/off and size), video darken, vignette, fade from black, film grain and a zoom control for your clip. Use the built-in two-color gradient background, or switch it off and lay the title over your own video.

It is the kind of professional title opener you see in blockbuster trailers, ready for your own story. Please note: the movie footage behind the text in the preview is not included; your own shot replaces the DELETE THIS LAYER layer. Resolution: 4K UHD 3840x2160; frame rate: 60 fps; length: roughly 8.8 seconds. Compatible with After Effects 2023 and later versions, with zero third-party plugins. The fonts come from Adobe Fonts and activate with your Creative Cloud plan. Setup is simple thanks to the included tutorial PDF and a font sheet with download links. It belongs to a series of film credits, cinematic titles and trailer titles designed to work together. Available to Typoanim Premium members with a license for business and client work.
