Neon Title Stack

Set 2 or 3 lines of 1 to 3 words over the footage, with the key word largest. Bring each line in over 20 to 30 frames, starting 6 to 10 frames after the line before. Add a soft glow in the text color, about 12 percent of the letter height, and keep the letters sharp on top. When the last line has landed, move a diagonal highlight band at -60 degrees, about half the title wide with a 6 percent feather, across the letters and back over about 2 seconds, clipped to the text. The whole title runs about 3 to 3.5 seconds, holding complete for at least 1.5 seconds.

Technique: Neon Title Stack.
Apply to: {clip}, or the part the user names.
Look and method: Set 2 or 3 lines of 1 to 3 words over the footage, with the key word largest. Bring each line in over 20 to 30 frames, starting 6 to 10 frames after the line before. Add a soft glow in the text color, about 12 percent of the letter height, and keep the letters sharp on top. When the last line has landed, move a diagonal highlight band at -60 degrees, about half the title wide with a 6 percent feather, across the letters and back over about 2 seconds, clipped to the text. The whole title runs about 3 to 3.5 seconds, holding complete for at least 1.5 seconds.
Spec first: turn every style word into numbers (frames, pixels, percent, dB) and tell the user before you build.
Keep: Drive all motion from the frame number so renders repeat exactly.
Check: Scrub frame by frame and watch at full speed.
