14 effects for headlines & callouts: words over footage: headlines, key phrases, lower thirds, highlights and callouts that point at the thing that matters.

Effects (14)

• Kicker Over Rising Headline — HeyGen: A small mono kicker fades in, then the headline rises word by word from a soft blur.
• Rotating Benefit Word — Aceternity UI: A fixed phrase holds while one word in it cycles through benefits, uses or audiences.
• Masked Line Reveal — Daniel Petho: Each line slides up out of an invisible slot, so the type looks cut from the frame.
• Marker on the Key Phrase — HeyGen: A marker band draws behind the one phrase that matters while the rest of the line stays calm.
• Strike Old, Write New — HeyGen: A line strikes through the old way, then the new word takes its place.
• Clean Lower Third — HeyGen: Name and role slide in at the lower left on a quiet bar, hold 3–5 s, then wipe out.
• Hand-Drawn Callout Arrow — HeyGen: A wobbly arrow draws itself from a short label to the exact button or number on screen.
• Dim Everything But the Target — HeyGen: The frame darkens except a soft ellipse around the element being talked about.
• Impact Headline Slam — HeyGen: A heavy headline scales down hard into frame and lands with a 2–3 frame shake.
• Phrase Builds From the Center — Remocn · HeyGen: Words arrive one at a time and push the growing phrase so it always sits centered.
• Specular Sweep Title — HeyGen: A static title receives one clean light sweep through its glyphs, then rests.
• Decode-In Tech Title — HeyGen: Random glyphs churn and lock into the real word from left to right.
• Footage Inside the Letters — Magic UI: Huge block letters act as windows onto playing product footage or a demo clip.
• Tracking-In Feature Label — HeyGen: Wide-spaced letters draw together into a tight, crisp label as the blur clears.

Other kinds of skills

• Prompts: The words a video model obeys: camera angles, shot sizes, lighting, characters, hooks and prompt guides for Seedance, Kling, Veo, FLUX and Higgsfield. Your agent writes the prompt with them, or you paste them into the model.
• Styles: The look of the whole video: art styles, film looks, color grades and LUTs, caption fonts and style references. Pick a style and every shot your agent makes follows it.
• Guides: Know-how your agent reads before it works: how to write a script, storyboard, edit and caption, and how to use Remotion, HyperFrames, GSAP, Three.js and FFmpeg.
• Workflows: A brief in, a finished video out: UGC ads, product videos, music videos, talking heads, explainers, Shorts and short dramas, step by step, with the models and the edit chosen for you.
• Models & tools: Run one model or tool from your agent: Seedance, Veo, Kling, FLUX, GPT Image, Nano Banana, ElevenLabs and 1,200+ more, plus scrapers, trend search and video analysis.
