Intro – Cutout Line

The "Intro – Border" is a simple but effective intro slide with dynamic motion of the background asset and an animated border that creates a good sense of movement into the movie. This intro can be perceived as a bit more energetic due to the scale down motion (optional) of the background asset. So use this when you need to grab people's attention right away.

In line with this being a bit more energetic, it has no secondary text, just the title.

Behavior and usage

There are two Title fields on the slide, Title (Huge) and Title (X-Large). These two are versions of one another, and either one can be used – you choose which one with the radio buttons beneath the text fields. The difference is that Title (Huge) uses the Huge typography from the theme setting and that text field allows a maximum of 40 characters. The Title (X-Large) uses the X-Large typography from the theme settings and allows for 70 characters. So use this switch when you need to have a longer title – for instance when translating between different languages. 

Credit text is derived from the credit field in the asset browser. Since all assets in Story Engine are their own instance, you could use the credit field for additional information as well, such as a source reference or other. This field is not directly editable from the storyboard view. Instead, you access it through the asset browser’s detail view. You can turn off the credit text altogether from the storyboard side pane if you wish.
