Marquee bands

Big words repeat along tilted bands that scroll in opposite directions — solid on accent, outlined on the ground — like a poster in motion.

Render it

npx volito render type/marquee --prop text="New drop" --out marquee.mov

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

volito render type/marquee --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out marquee-9x16.mov
volito render type/marquee --format mp4 --out marquee.mp4
volito still type/marquee --t 3 --out marquee.png
volito info type/marquee     # every prop and part
volito add type/marquee      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("type/marquee"), { props: { text: "New drop" }, out: "marquee.mov" });

Or ask an agent with the MCP server connected: “Render the Volito marquee bands (type/marquee) 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 Type

Typewriter

Words type on letter by letter with a blinking caret — in the brand's mono, text or display face.

Word swap

A fixed lead and a word that keeps changing: each new word rolls up into an accent box that stretches to fit it — “We make videos / ads / stories”.

Split-flap board

An airport split-flap board: every cell flutters through letters and clacks onto the message, left to right.

Echo stack

One word with outlined echoes fanning out above and below it, rippling in a slow wave — a poster headline that breathes.

Liquid fill

A big outlined word fills from the bottom with a wavy liquid in the brand's accents, then a tagline rises under it.

Decode

A title decodes letter by letter out of scrambled glyphs between brackets, then a mono line types on under it.
