Torn Paper Title Animation

Your title, made by hand: every line on its own strip of paper with a torn edge and white fibers showing, masking tape, a paper shadow and a slight tilt. It comes in in jumps, like stop-motion, and then a marker doodle draws itself on top (an arrow with its note, an underline or a circle). Four styles: taped strips, ransom-note magazine letters, sticky note and cardstock. Paper, lettering, tape and marker in your colors.

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.
