3D Title
Describe a title and an AI model plans an animated 3D text scene with camera moves, lighting and particles, up to 60 seconds, for intros, outros and trailers.
The 3D Title node turns a description into an animated 3D text scene. An AI model plans the text, the camera movement, the lighting and optional particle effects, and the node returns that plan as a composition. Connect the composition to Render Video to get the finished video, up to 60 seconds long.
When to use it
- You need an animated title card for the intro or outro of a video.
- You want a 3D text reveal for a presentation or a trailer.
- You want a branded title sequence with your own colors and lighting.
- You want an animated lower third with 3D depth.
Quick start
Add the node
Press Tab on the canvas and choose Video › Titles, Graphics & Captions › 3D Title.
Describe the title
In the settings panel, type the text, the animation style and the mood under Title Prompt. For example: epic gold title 'ADVENTURE' rotating with dramatic lighting, camera orbits slowly.
Add a background, if you want one
Connect an image or a video to the Background input. Without one, the scene uses the Background Color.
Run it and render it
Click Run. When the plan is ready, a preview appears in the settings panel. Connect the Composition output to a Render Video node and run that node to get the MP4.
Inputs
| Input | Accepts | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Background | Image and video nodes | Optional. Drawn behind the 3D text. |
The output, Composition, is the plan of the title scene. It connects only to Render Video.
Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| AI Model | The language model that plans the scene. The default is Claude Sonnet 4.6. The model's tier (Economy, Standard or Premium) sets the price. |
| Reasoning Effort | Shown for models that can reason. Auto (model default) keeps the price. Very high and Max may bill one tier up. |
| Advanced mode | Gemini models only. Unlocks Temperature, Max Tokens and the full reasoning range, and costs one credit tier more. |
| Title Prompt | The description of the title: the words, the animation, the camera and the mood. |
| FPS | 24, 30 or 60 frames per second. The default is 30. Under Settings. |
| Duration (s) | From 1 to 60 seconds. The default is 10. Under Settings. |
| Aspect Ratio | 16:9 (the default), 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5. Under Settings. |
| Background Color | The scene's background color when no background is connected. The default is black (#000000). Under Settings. |
| Pre & post text | Text added before and after the prompt at run time. It is hidden from people who use your workflow as an app. See Prompt pre and post text. |
What the plan contains
The model writes a complete scene for the text:
- Camera — its position and its movement, such as a slow zoom out or an orbit around the text.
- Lighting — ambient, directional and point lights.
- Particles — optional particle effects around the text.
- Background — the connected image or video, or the background color.
Credits
A 3D title costs credits in two steps:
- Writing the plan. The price follows the tier of the AI Model: Economy, Standard or Premium. The range is shown in the box at the top of this page.
- Rendering the plan. Render Video costs 50 credits per render on Nodaro Cloud.
Tips
- Say what the camera does. Phrases such as "camera zooms out slowly" or "orbit around the text" give the model a clear move to plan.
- Keep title cards short. 5 to 15 seconds is enough for most intros. The maximum of 60 seconds is a hard limit.
- Split long sequences. For a sequence longer than 60 seconds, render several titles and join them with Combine Videos.
- Match the render settings. Give Render Video the same frame rate and aspect ratio as the title, so the render does not rescale it.
- Need flat 2D graphics instead? Use Motion Graphics for lower thirds, title cards and kinetic typography in 2D.

Remove Audio
Strip the audio track from a video and keep a silent clip. The picture is copied without re-encoding, so nothing is lost and the node finishes almost at once.
