A look
Room colour
by Takehound
Cards in a deep colour taken from your own video, with a slow soft light moving across them, so they always match what was shot.
Starts from Bold
One frame of a real talk, as shot and with a punch line drawn by the editor in Room colour: Montserrat ExtraBold in capitals, with the stressed words coloured with the accent, lightened to 55% so they read over the picture. Slide to compare. Every word on it was said in the talk.
When to use it
Use it when you want cards that look made for this video. The colour is read from your own recording, your wall or your shirt, and made dark enough for white capitals, and a soft light drifts across it while the card is up. Filmed somewhere else next week, the same look comes out a different colour, so a series shot in different places never looks like one template stamped on each episode.
Who it suits
It suits a creator who films in different places, or who has no brand colours of their own and does not want to choose any. The colours are read once from your frames, in your browser, and nothing of the picture is sent. If the first colour sits badly beside your shots, ask the editor for another: it knows the few colours your video holds.
What it changes
Room colour starts from Bold and sets what stands behind its words. Whatever it leaves alone is Bold's.

Its cards are built as Bold builds them: lists on a scrim that darkens the picture beside you, chapters as numbered rings.
