News ticker

A crawl along the bottom: a label block in the accent and a line of items scrolling left without a break.

Render it

npx volito render broadcast/ticker --prop label="Latest" --out ticker.mov

That writes ProRes 4444 with alpha, ready to drop over footage. The same item in another shape, brand or format:

volito render broadcast/ticker --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out ticker-9x16.mov
volito render broadcast/ticker --format mp4 --out ticker.mp4
volito still broadcast/ticker --t 5 --out ticker.png
volito info broadcast/ticker     # every prop and part
volito add broadcast/ticker      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("broadcast/ticker"), { props: { label: "Latest" }, out: "ticker.mov" });

Or ask an agent with the MCP server connected: “Render the Volito news ticker (broadcast/ticker) in 9:16, in our brand.”

Props

Set each with --prop name=value, or all at once with --props and a JSON object.

Parts

Each part takes any move, ease or idle: --motion bar.in=pop.

More in Broadcast

Lower third — two bars

A name bar wipes in from one side and a role bar in the accent from the other, the words rising inside their bars.

Lower third — mask reveal

Cardless: an accent sweep crosses the frame and leaves the name behind it, then the role fades up. Made for footage.

Lower third — kicker

A kicker tag in the accent, a heavy name and a baseline that draws under it, the role beneath. Cardless, for footage.

Lower third — pill

A rounded pill with a picture or initials, a status dot, the name and the role. Pops in; good for podcasts and calls.

Lower third — news boxes

Broadcast style: a tight headline box with a hard accent shadow, a sub-line box beneath and an optional tag above.

Live badge

A LIVE pill with a pulsing dot, a viewer count that counts up and keeps ticking, and an optional running clock.
