Film Leader & Film Burn
A vintage film text animation: a projector countdown leader gives way to a scratched, weaving film frame with the word. Then the stuck frame bubbles and burns away in orange light. A classic opener for vintage edits, trailers and documentary titles.
Prompt · replace [TEXT]
Tool-agnosticOpen [TEXT] with an old projector countdown: a warm gray leader with two thin concentric rings, a crosshair and a big black number (5, 4, 3, 2) while a darker clock-hand sweep rotates once per number. Cut to a sepia film frame: [TEXT] in a high-contrast bold serif, cream on deep warm brown, with heavy grain, dust specks, a hair or two, fine vertical scratches, slight gate weave and a gentle exposure flicker at 24 fps. After a few seconds the frame stalls in the gate and burns: an irregular hole bubbles outward with a black charred edge and a glowing orange-to-white ember rim while an orange light leak floods in from the side, until the whole frame is consumed. Return to the leader and loop every 8 seconds.
