After Effects caption templates and hook titles for ads

These After Effects caption templates are built for ads, not intros. Word-by-word captions, hook titles for the first second, price tags and quick transitions, each in vertical, square and horizontal versions. Drop a preset on the timeline, change text and colors in one control layer, render. Leave your email and we'll send one caption template free.

  • Vertical, square and horizontal versions

Why editors rebuild the same things

Building captions, hooks and transitions from scratch for every ad wastes hours.

Captions keyframed by hand again

Every client wants captions that pop, and every project starts from an empty composition.

Most packs are made for intros

Slideshow titles and logo reveals don't help with a 15-second paid social ad.

Text under the interface

A title that looks great in the composition ends up under TikTok's buttons on a phone.
