13 Types of Movie Title Design Sequences

There is a range of different types of Movie Title Design Sequences, Opening Credits, and Intros that filmmakers and directors use in their projects. Each one has its own distinct reason for existence and the role that it plays in storytelling beyond just showcasing the credit.

After Effects Tips: How do I apply an effect only to a masked area?

I like the freedom it offers while opening up some bigger and better opportunities.
