Callout

A name or title graphic slides, wipes or fades into the lower part of the frame, holds, then animates out without covering the main picture.

This is for a motion graphics video. Add a "Lower Third" (also called a chyron, name strap, super, aston or CG) to [scene]: a name and title graphic animates into the lower part of the frame, holds, then animates out.
Keep it in the bottom strip and off to one side so it never covers the main picture — unlike a callout, it does not point at anything inside the image. Bring it in with a slide or wipe, and take it out the same way in reverse.
Fit the in, the hold and the out into [duration], with the hold long enough to read both lines.

A circle or ring expands quickly from a point and fades, adding an accent behind an arriving element.

This is for a motion graphics video. In [scene], accent an arriving element with a "Circle Burst" (also called a circle pop or ring burst): a ring expands quickly from the element's center and fades away behind it.
Let the ring thin out as it grows and be gone by the time the element has settled — unlike a line burst, the accent is one closed ring, not separate strokes shooting outward.
Fit it into [duration], fast at the start and easing out, and fire it at the moment the element appears.

A flat column of names scrolls steadily upward (or sideways for staff rolls) at constant speed.

This is for a motion graphics video. End [scene] with a "Credit Roll" (also called a credit crawl, staff roll or end credits scroll): a flat column of names scrolls steadily up the frame.
Keep the speed constant from start to finish and the text flat and the same size all the way — unlike a title crawl, nothing tilts back or shrinks into the distance. For a staff-roll version, run the names sideways across the frame instead.
Run it over [duration], slow enough that each line can be read as it passes.

The full caption stays on screen while each word lights up as it is spoken; distinct from Pop Captions because the text never appears or disappears word by word.

This is for a motion graphics video. Caption [scene] with "Karaoke Captions" (also called word highlight captions or karaoke subtitles): the whole caption stays on screen and each word lights up as it is spoken.
Only the highlight travels from word to word — unlike pop captions, no word appears or disappears. Mark the spoken word with a color change, a block behind it, a slight scale-up or a small bounce.
Time the highlights to the speech across [duration], and keep the caption in the lower part of the frame, clear of the subject.
