What makes a good video title card?
A good title card holds one idea, sets it in a readable weight, and clears the frame before the viewer loses patience. Two to three seconds is usually enough. Animate the headline and subtitle on separate beats so the eye lands on the main line first.
Titles frame everything that follows. These presets stagger headlines, split them across a line, letterbox them or stamp them into a box, and every word, font and beat is yours to set.
