Perspective Tilt
A flat layer such as a screen or card is tilted back in 3D so it recedes toward one edge and gains depth; the layer tilts, not the camera.
Use for
Product and UI showcases, title cards

Replace [scene] with the shot and [duration] with how long it should take, then paste the prompt into your AI agent. Each prompt includes the name of the technique, so next time you can simply ask for it by name.
This is for a motion graphics video. In [scene], give a flat screen or card a "Perspective Tilt": it leans back in 3D so one edge recedes into the distance and the layer gains depth.
Tilt the layer itself and leave everything behind it exactly where it is — unlike a camera tilt, the rest of the picture must not move. Let the far edge shrink and the near edge grow so the perspective reads clearly.
Ease the tilt in and out over [duration], and stop at an angle where the content on the layer is still readable.Also called Tilting, Pitch
The camera pivots up or down on a fixed spot; unlike a pedestal, the camera body does not rise or fall.
Use for
Revealing height, tall subjects
This is for a motion graphics video. In [scene], move the camera with a "Tilt" (also called tilting or pitch): it pivots up or down on the spot.
Everything in the frame should slide vertically together at the same speed, with no depth shift between near and far layers — that is what separates it from a pedestal.
Run it over [duration], and ease into and out of the move so it does not start or stop abruptly.Also called Opening Crawl, Roll-Up, Scrolling Typography
Paragraphs of text scroll up and tilt back in perspective, shrinking toward a vanishing point; distinct from Credit Roll, which stays flat.
Use for
Film openings, space-opera homages
This is for a motion graphics video. Open [scene] with a "Title Crawl" (also called an opening crawl, roll-up or scrolling typography): paragraphs of text scroll up while tilted back in perspective, shrinking toward a vanishing point.
Lay the text on a plane that leans away from the viewer, so lines enter large at the bottom and fade out small in the distance — unlike a credit roll, which stays flat and the same size all the way up.
Run it over [duration] at a steady pace, slow enough that each line can be read before it recedes.Also called Build Captions, Word-by-Word Captions
Captions appear one word or short phrase at a time, each popping in as spoken and replacing the last.
Use for
Short-form social video
This is for a motion graphics video. Caption [scene] with "Pop Captions" (also called build captions or word-by-word captions): show one word or short phrase at a time, each popping in as it is spoken and replacing the last.
Keep every word in the same spot so the eye never has to travel — unlike karaoke captions, the full sentence is never on screen at once. Give each word a quick scale-up with a slight overshoot.
Time the words to the speech across [duration], and keep them large, bold and clear of the subject.Also called Scale Pop, Pop, Text Pop, Line Pop
An element scales up from zero with a slight overshoot and settles; the energetic arrival used for words and shapes alike.
Use for
Social captions, explainer elements, icons
This is for a motion graphics video. In [scene], bring an element on with a "Pop-In" (also called a scale pop, pop, text pop or line pop): it scales up from nothing, overshoots slightly and settles at full size.
Scale it from its own center, in place, and keep the overshoot small so it reads as a springy arrival — nothing flies or slides in from elsewhere. Use the same move for a word, a shape or a line; a line pops along its length.
Fit each pop into [duration], fast out of the gate and quick to settle, and stagger several elements so they arrive one after another.Also called Text Rain, Data Cascade
Many lines of text, comments or raw data cascade, scroll or rain across the screen as a texture.
Use for
Tech and data scenes, social feeds
This is for a motion graphics video. Fill [scene] with "Streaming Text" (also called text rain or a data cascade): many lines of text, comments or raw data pour across the screen and read as a moving texture.
Layer lines of different sizes moving at different speeds so the field has depth, and never pause on any single line — nobody is meant to read it, only to feel the volume.
Run it for [duration] at a steady flow, and keep it dim enough to sit behind whatever is in front.
