Quote Card Animation — Newspaper, Typewriter or Printed Post

The quote from documentaries and video essays, made into an object. Four styles: a torn newspaper clipping with the line in serif and the *marked* words in a sweeping highlighter; a typewritten index card typing letter by letter with the *marks* underlined in red and a handwritten signature; a PRINTED post taped down (avatar, name, date and counters; generic, no real network); or giant 3D quote marks on a white card with words going grey → ink and *marks* in a black box (Editorial). The type size adjusts itself to the length. Works transparent too.

How to use it in your editor

Export it without background and put it on a track above your clip: the animation plays over your video.

  • CapCut

    1. Export «without background»: you get a .mov with transparency.
    2. On desktop, drag it to a track above your clip. On the phone, use Overlay → Add overlay.
    3. If your app shows a black background, export «with your clip» instead and import the MP4 as your video.

  • Premiere Pro

    1. File → Import the .mov.
    2. Drag it to V2, above your footage on V1.
    3. The transparency is kept: move, scale or trim it like any clip.

  • DaVinci Resolve

    1. Import the .mov into the Media Pool.
    2. Place it on Video 2, above your clip.
    3. If you see black instead of your clip: right-click → Clip Attributes → Alpha Mode: Premultiplied.

  • Final Cut Pro

    1. Import the .mov.
    2. Connect it above the primary storyline (shortcut Q).
    3. Final Cut reads the transparency on its own.
