Title cards that animate in, word by word.
Press T and a title card lands at the playhead. Type the words, pick a font and a reveal, and the card animates in by line, word or letter. The next card you add starts with the same look.
How it works
- 01
Press T
A 3-second card lands on the Clips lane at the playhead, selected and ready to type into. Clip › Insert Title and Add › Title do the same.
- 02
Write and style it
Type the words, then set the font, weight, alignment, colour and size. Spacing and a shadow are under More.
- 03
Choose how it arrives
Pick a Reveal and whether it comes in all at once or by line, word or letter. Set Exit to Reverse to play it backwards on the way out.

Questions
Anything else, ask on the feedback page.
Can a title sit over my recording?
No. A title card is a clip of its own, between recordings. For words over the picture, add a Text mark with annotations.
Will my chapter cards match?
Yes. Each new card copies the last title's look, so only the words start over.
Can I animate it out?
Yes. Set Exit to Reverse and the reveal plays backwards before the card ends, or give the clip a Fade out.
Can I use my own font?
No. Titles use the four macOS system designs, so a project looks the same on every Mac.

Lumae is free for Mac. It zooms on your clicks, smooths your cursor and writes your captions, so your time goes into the demo, not the edit.
