# Title Card

The video’s opening mic drop.

## What it is

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.

## Why it's important

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.

## When/how to use

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.

## Best Practices

1. **Design for readability –** Use bold fonts, high contrast, and safe-zone placement.
2. **Keep it concise –** Limit wording to essential information like titles or segment names.
3. **Match style to project –** Ensure title cards align with branding, tone, and overall design.
