Quote Card

Testimonial with weight: oversized quote mark (swappable for your own SVG) and four text entrances via animateIn: wrapped lines, words dropping into place, character typewriter, or blurred words settling into focus. Spec time.appear sets how fast the whole card lands, time.hold how long it stays; a pull-out camera widens as the card enters.

How to use it

Put this in your video

Drop a testimonial or a line from an interview into the middle of a video. Paste this into Claude Code, Codex, or any coding agent.

Prompt

Use the OverlayMotion video templates from https://github.com/ricardo/overlay-motion Add the Quote Card template at 3s with the quote "We stopped briefing designers for launch clips. The templates already know our brand.", author Ricardo Metring, role Developer of OverlayMotion. Let the words drop into place one by one and hold it for 4 seconds.

Have ready: The quote, who said it, their role, and a portrait if you have one.
Works over any clip, and still renders with no clip at all.
Defaults to the center of the frame for about 8 seconds. Ask for another spot, a start time, or a longer hold.
A correction is one sentence: “Type the quote out character by character instead.”

Spec knobs

What the spec changes without touching props

These live on the overlay, not in this template. They are renderer-provided, so they behave the same here as on every other template.

region: Where it sits. One of the 12 named boxes, or your own { "x": 62, "y": 12, "w": 34, "h": 42 } in percent of the frame. This template is designed around center, which is what it uses when the spec says nothing.
fullscreentop-bannerlower-thirdupper-thirdcaption-zoneleft-panelright-panelcentercorner-tlcorner-trcorner-blcorner-br
scale: Uniform size inside the resolved region, 0.25 to 2. Props that size the artwork stay relative to the region box, so scale is how an overlay grows past it.
time: When it lives: start, duration, or the appear + hold pair (entrance length plus how long the finished overlay stays). Seconds (3s), percentages (66%) and negative seconds from the end (-2s) are all valid.
motion: Object motion, applied to the element itself so nothing is cropped or zoomed. This template ships { "style": "sway-3d" }; the spec replaces it, retunes it with amount (0..1) and its own time window, stacks several by passing an array, or stops it with { "style": "none" }. The oscillating styles also take frequency, seed, rampSec and rampOutSec; the one-shot skew-* sweeps take their tempo from time instead.
shakewobblefloatsway-3dskew-rightskew-leftskew-upskew-downnone
enter: Renderer-owned entrance, 0.6s, identical on every template. It stacks with whatever entrance the template already runs, so set the template's own entrance prop to none when you drive it from here.
slide-leftslide-rightspringmask
exit: How it leaves: blur-out melts it away, fade-down drifts down, shrink scales to center (0.9s each), vanish pops it out of existence in 0.45s. Set one and the template's own fade steps aside.
blur-outfade-downshrinkvanish
camera: Moves the region's VIEWPORT rather than the element: push-in, pull-out, the pan-* family, handheld. Its own transform layer, so it stacks with motion, enter, exit and scale.
sound: Per-overlay override of the spec's sound block: enabled, volume, and a sounds map that remaps one cue by name ({ "pop": "ding" }, a path to your own file, or false to mute just that cue). The map is keyed by CUE, so remapping pop also changes an exit: "vanish", which fires pop too. To change only this template's own sound, use its sfx prop instead. Core palette: click, pop, whoosh, ding, typewriter.
