Opening Credits
Four cards on the beat. The production line, the title, the camera credit and the director, at cinema type scale over the footage dip, each card holding a fixed number of beats at your track’s tempo so the cards change on the downbeat. The dots along the bottom are the beat grid the cuts sit on.

What it's for
Four cards on the beat. The production line, the title, the camera credit and the director, at cinema type scale over the footage dip, each card holding a fixed number of beats at your track’s tempo so the cards change on the downbeat. The dots along the bottom are the beat grid the cuts sit on.
Reach for it when
- The opening minute of a travel film or a documentary cut, over a drone push or a slow establishing pan
- A showreel or a channel trailer, where “shot on” and “directed by” are the point
- A series opener that wants the same credits every episode, timed to the same theme
How it plays
Real credits are set in wide-tracked caps at a light weight, and the tracking settles a touch as each card lands — the same gesture as the family’s titles, slower. Type the track’s bpm and choose how many beats a card holds; the cards then change on the beat, and the dots let you see the lock in the Studio before you hear it in the edit. The last card holds until you cut: opening credits end on the director, and a card that faded to nothing would leave the dip on an empty frame.
Not the right pick when
A single title with nothing to credit — four cards of one line each is a slow way to say one thing. Use the Letterbox Reveal or Title Settle.
The FILM family
FILM is the paperwork of a shoot as motion — the slate, the leader, the slug line, the credits, the grain. It is built for creators who shoot like filmmakers, and it is the one family where the typeface is the design rather than a slot: Bodoni for the credits, Bebas for the slate and the leader, Courier for the page. Nothing in it glows, leaks or flares; everything is colour with alpha, so what you see in the Studio is what lands on your timeline.
