Word by word

A sentence one word at a time, each word slammed full-frame on a new ground — the brand's, the accent, the second accent — cut to a steady pace. *Marked* words go big.

Render it

npx volito render type/word-by-word --out word-by-word.mov

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

volito render type/word-by-word --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out word-by-word-9x16.mov
volito render type/word-by-word --format mp4 --out word-by-word.mp4
volito still type/word-by-word --t 2.5 --out word-by-word.png
volito info type/word-by-word     # every prop and part
volito add type/word-by-word      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("type/word-by-word"), { props: {}, out: "word-by-word.mov" });

Or ask an agent with the MCP server connected: “Render the Volito word by word (type/word-by-word) 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.

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.

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.
