From the Director Of Movie Title Card After Effects Template

Built for trailers, short films and cinematic intros, From the Director Of Movie Title Card is a modern movie title for After Effects. A "from the director of" line leads into a large italic serif title and a smaller credit line, the trailer card used to sell a new film by a known filmmaker. It fits music videos and series openers, and works just as well in title sequences. From YouTube cinematic titles to film festival trailers, the text animation reads clearly on any screen.

All three text layers are editable, so you can rewrite the title, tagline and release lines. Open the CONTROL PANEL layer to resize or move the whole title, add a text shadow and recolor every text, plus the color of the thin decorative lines. Film controls add a letterbox with on/off switch and adjustable size, a video darken slider, a vignette, a fade from black and a film grain amount, plus a slow zoom on your footage. A two-color gradient background can be switched on, or turned off to place the title over your own footage.

Cinematic titles, trailer texts and opening credits like this give even a short video the feel of a Hollywood release. Keep in mind that the background footage shown in the preview is not included; your own video goes where the DELETE THIS LAYER placeholder sits. Everything is designed at 3840x2160 (Ultra HD 4K), plays at 60 frames per second and lasts about 8.4 seconds. Open it in After Effects 2023+ straight away; no extra effects or scripts have to be installed. 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 is part of a large collection of cinematic titles, movie titles and trailer titles, so you can build a whole title sequence in one style. The Premium plan covers commercial projects, so filmmakers, agencies and freelancers can publish it with confidence.
