3D Title
AI-generated animated 3D text scenes with camera, lighting, and particle effects.
Overview
The 3D Title node uses Claude Sonnet (configurable via the model selector — any of the shared LLM registry’s models) to generate a plan for animated 3D text scenes. The plan includes camera movements, lighting setups, and optional particle effects. Rendering uses @remotion/three with Three.js and @react-three/drei for high-quality 3D text animation. Maximum duration is 60 seconds.
Reasoning-capable models additionally show an Effort selector next to the model picker (Auto by default — the vendor default, no charge change). xhigh/max bill one tier up, same rule as every other LLM-backed node — see the Generate Text node’s Reasoning effort section for the exact formula and worked examples.
Advanced mode. Gemini models offer an Advanced mode switch. Turning it on runs the model on the provider’s own API instead of through our aggregator, which is the only place Temperature, Max Tokens and the full reasoning-depth range actually take effect — those controls appear once it is on. It bills one credit tier up, and the node’s cost badge updates immediately so you can see the change before running. On a non-Gemini model the switch is visible but disabled, with the reason shown inline.

text | – | Optional pre/post text wrapped around the prompt at run time (settings panel → Pre & post text; hidden from app users; captured by presets). See Prompt pre & post text. |
Inputs & Outputs
Inputs:
background– Optional background image or video for the 3D scene.
Outputs:
composition– 3D title plan (JSON). Connect to a Render Video node for final output.Best Practices
- Describe the text content, animation style, and mood clearly (e.g., “epic gold title ‘ADVENTURE’ rotating with dramatic lighting”).
- Keep duration short (5–15 seconds) for title cards; the 60-second maximum is a hard limit.
- Use a background image or video to give the 3D text more visual context.
- Specify camera behavior if important (e.g., “camera zooms out slowly” or “orbit around the text”).
Common Use Cases
- Creating animated title cards for video intros and outros.
- Generating 3D text reveals for presentations or trailers.
- Building branded title sequences with specific colors and lighting.
- Producing animated lower thirds with 3D depth.
Tips
- The plan includes camera position and movement, lighting (ambient, directional, point lights), and optional particle systems.
- Duration is capped at 60 seconds. For longer title sequences, consider splitting into multiple segments.
- Background media (connected via the
backgroundinput) is rendered behind the 3D scene. - This node uses Claude Sonnet for 3D scene planning, which reflects the complexity of generating camera, lighting, and particle configurations.
- Connect to Render Video downstream to produce the final video file.
