Chapter card

A chapter card: a huge outlined number that fills from the bottom, the chapter's name under a kicker, and a row of segments showing where it sits among all the chapters.

Playing live with volito/browser, the engine a render uses. Each tab lays the item out again for that shape, not a crop.

Render it

npx volito render essentials/chapter --prop kicker="Chapter" --prop title="Finding the hook" --out chapter.mov

That writes ProRes 4444. The same item in another shape, brand or format:

volito render essentials/chapter --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out chapter-9x16.mov
volito render essentials/chapter --format mp4 --out chapter.mp4
volito still essentials/chapter --t 2 --out chapter.png
volito info essentials/chapter     # every prop and part
volito add essentials/chapter      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("essentials/chapter"), { props: { kicker: "Chapter", title: "Finding the hook" }, out: "chapter.mov" });

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

Lower third

A name plate over footage: an accent spine grows, the plate wipes in, the name rises, the role slides in.

Title card

A full-frame chapter or opening title: a kicker chip, the title built letter by letter, a brush underline, a subtitle — over the brand's ground with an outlined number drifting behind.

Kinetic headline

Big words that pop in one by one — on the voice when you give it a transcript — with a marker swiped under the *starred* words.

Subscribe

A call to action over footage: the channel card springs in, a cursor glides onto the button and presses it, the bell rings.

Social handle

Your handle in a corner: a pill with the platform's icon slides in, a follow button presses, it tucks away.

Callout

Points at something in the shot: a ring pulses on the spot, a line draws out to a label card that pops in beside it.
