That’s a perfectly good plan, but all of it makes it sound like I want to zoom into the letter while it’s a solid color and then fade into the footage. The plan is to go solid once it moves in from the side, drop the solid color while the main title appears in full and then zoom in. Nevertheless, your plan is still something to consider.
Also, I’d like to ask, what does the tint effect do exactly? Does it do a seamless shift from the solid color to the main footage. In that case, I’ll use that effect, too!
