Create with After Effects Title Templates
Whether you’re producing a cinematic masterpiece or a new promo video for your brand, video titles provide your audience with the context they need on what the video is about and why they should keep watching. Creating titles from scratch can be time consuming and expensive – that’s why you need video title templates.
Pre-built After Effects title templates can be incorporated into your After Effects project and enable you to quickly convey your video title and key information to the viewer. You’ll find thousands of After Effects templates at your fingertips when you subscribe to Envato Elements, the only creative subscription you need!
What Are Title Templates?
After Effects title templates are pre-animated project files that can be customized with your branding, colors, text, and other design elements. Rather than building complete title sequences from scratch in After Effects, title templates give you a starting point, which you can simply tailor to your needs, and render within minutes.
Title templates allow you to harness the power of After Effects, without having to understand the program inside and out. They’re also great for establishing consistency between opening and closing sequences. Whether you’re creating a documentary, launching a new brand series, or want to add a touch of professionalism to your YouTube videos, After Effects title templates can help.

Title templates are typically used to introduce your video and credit those who helped produce it.
