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.
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.
