How to create a animated cover?

Hi all, sometimes when I am reading a story on episode I see these really cool covers where the title of the story drops down or magically appears. How do people do those kind of animated covers? Would love to try it.

There’s no such thing as an “animated cover.” If you’re talking about an animated intro, then that’s different.

Hi!
So
you need the cover without the title as a background

and the title as an overlay and then you just need to play around with the overlay so it starts offscreen then moves where you want it on screen! :slight_smile:
