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.

Render it

npx volito render essentials/headline --out headline.mov

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

volito render essentials/headline --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out headline-9x16.mov
volito render essentials/headline --format mp4 --out headline.mp4
volito still essentials/headline --t 1.75 --out headline.png
volito info essentials/headline     # every prop and part
volito add essentials/headline      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("essentials/headline"), { props: {}, out: "headline.mov" });

Or ask an agent with the MCP server connected: “Render the Volito kinetic headline (essentials/headline) 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 ground.in=pop.

More in Essentials

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.

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.

Stat

One number that matters, full frame: it counts up as it lands, the label rises under it, a ring fills to the value or bars grow to it.
