Stone text is a 3D text asset that has it moving in from the sky casting a shadow on the background. It has four lines of text which you can customize in terms of color, content, and font to fulfill a series of different roles. But you might be wondering: What roles? When is it actually a good idea to use this resource? So, in order to feed your imagination with new scene ideas, we have compiled a few uses for the stone text resource.

Titles

The first thing that might have popped into your mind when reading the description of the stone text is that it would make a stylish way of presenting the title of your video, and you would be correct. Feel free to congratulate yourself. Not only would it make as an aesthetically pleasing way of presenting a title, it would also greatly add to the video’s production value. Just imagine, as you speak to the camera, the title of your video gently falls down, casting a shadow on the wall, then disappearing. Just like that, you would the attention of your audience.

Transitions

The stone text is also great material if you want to create seamless transitions by having the text appear without the need for an abrupt change. When all four lines of text are filled, this resource take about half the screen, which can be very useful when it comes to letting the text blend in with the environment. This means you could have the 3D text appear on top of tables and shelves, without taking your viewer out of the experience of the video.

Lower Thirds

A lower third is a small strip of text normally used when you have someone talking as part of an interview, it’s very useful for conveying the information of who is speaking while saving the audience’s time. So if you have someone else speaking on your video and want to present that person in such a fashion, why not gain some style points by having their name fall in? You could even use this on yourself as a presentation card so you don’t have to present yourself at the beginning of every single video.

Conclusion

As you might have realized alredy, the biggest advantage of stone text is precisely how “concrete” it is. Gravity acts upon it making it fall in from the sky, the lines hit each other and stack on the screencasting shadows. That is to say, it treats the words you input like an actual part of the environment you placed them in. So whenever you want to cause this effect of concreteness to the words you include, there is no better asset to do it than the stone text.
