What is a title card?
Also called: intro card, chapter card, section
Definition
A title card is a full-frame graphic with text, shown at the start of a video or between its parts.
Title cards open a video, mark chapters and close with a next step. They give structure to a long recording and a place to breathe between topics.

In Sceed these are sections: cards that sit between clips or play over the recording while the voice carries on. The title card is free; the other styles are Pro.
