A title card is a screen featuring text or graphics (often on a plain background) that introduces a film, video, or segment. It can include the title, episode number, or thematic branding. It’s often used to set tone or introduce the content.
A title card establishes context and adds professionalism. A well-designed title card reinforces branding and helps viewers know what they’re watching, especially on platforms where autoplay is enabled.
Use title cards at the beginning of tutorials, branded content, or video series. Keep them short (2–3 seconds), readable, and stylistically consistent with your overall visual identity.
Design for readability – Use bold fonts, high contrast, and safe-zone placement.
Keep it concise – Limit wording to essential information like titles or segment names.
Match style to project – Ensure title cards align with branding, tone, and overall design.
