How to make a title card with music
Tell Vizard Agent what the card should say and how it should feel. Vizard Agent renders the typography, searches for music and listens to the candidates, finds the beat to place an impact sound on, then checks the finished card frame by frame and measures its audio levels before delivering it.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Give the wording in quotation marks and a word about the feel. Vizard Agent handles the type, the animation, the music and the sound design from there, so a short brief is genuinely enough. Quoting the text exactly is the one part worth being careful about, because a stray capital is unmissable at that size.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
A title card is ten seconds of type and music, and everything in it is visible: the kerning, the animation, the moment the music starts, the level of the impact. So for a ten-second video, an unusual amount of the work is inspection rather than making. In the session behind this article it:
- Rendered the title card while searching for music in the same pass, then downloaded the music options and checked the card's frames.
- Inspected the sheen animation's flash frames closely, because a sheen sweeping across type is only three or four frames long, then re-rendered the card.
- Prepared samples of both music tracks, listened to them and identified which was which before choosing.
- Found the beat and generated an impact sound to land on it.
- Rendered the final card with music at 1920x1080 and 10.05 seconds, checked the waveform, watched it back, inspected frames densely through the opening and the middle, and measured the audio levels across the clip.
When does this not work well?
A title card is short and simple, so every flaw in it is proportionally large, and the things that make a card fail are usually decisions rather than defects. Too many words force the type small, which defeats the format. Trendy animation dates fast, and in front of a short video, four or five seconds is often better than ten.
Common questions
How long should a title card be? Ten seconds if it stands alone. Four or five in front of a short video, where anything longer gets skipped.
Can I get a silent version? Yes. Ask Vizard Agent for both and use the silent one where the video behind it already has its own audio.
Is the music licensed? Vizard Agent searches a licensable library rather than lifting a track from somewhere else.
