About this template

The lead-in plays as single words with hard cuts, fast like a talking-head caption. On the quote, the last word swipes out to the left and the whole quote swipes in from the right with a motion blur, in a serif italic whose wide letter spacing closes up as it lands.

Questions

Is the Sirius template free?

Yes. You can edit and download it as many times as you like with no account and no watermark, and use it in personal and commercial videos.

Do I need After Effects or Premiere Pro?

No. You edit the template on this page and download a finished video file, which you can then drop into any editor: Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, CapCut or iMovie.

Can I use it as an overlay?

Yes. Turn on Transparent background and the download is a WebM with an alpha channel, so only the text shows over your footage. Most editors import it directly.

How long is the video?

About 6 seconds with the sample text. Longer text and the Slow speed make it longer; the video always ends with a short hold on the finished frame.

Which browsers can download it?

The video renders in your browser using WebCodecs. Chrome and Edge give the best result; some blur effects aren't available in Safari.
