What Are Replica 3 Title Presets for After Effects?

Summary

Replica 3 Title Presets for After Effects are 81 music-video-inspired title designs you build with inside compositions — editing text layers in precomps, driving controls through Essential Graphics, and rendering out through the render queue or Media Encoder. After Effects sits on the Adobe side of the range with Premiere Pro, and the $49.99 listing is the Premiere & Photoshop version, regularly $80.00. Resolve and Final Cut Pro are separate variants on the same product page, each $49.99.

What Are Replica 3 Title Presets?

Replica 3 Title Presets is a pack of 81 title presets inspired by music videos, made for directors and editors who want complex, unique designs rather than a text layer with a fade.

What you get:

  • 81 title presets — enough to build a whole title system for a piece.
  • Six exclusive display fonts — Wasted, Schoolyard, Spazz, Soap, Off-Vibe and Vibe, in OTF and TTF.
  • Fully customisable — text, colours, animations and sizing.
  • 4K and HD — usable at either comp size.
  • Drag-and-drop install — no additional plugins required, so nothing to license separately and nothing to break on a render node.

A straight answer on versions. Replica 3 lists After Effects among its compatible applications, and After Effects lives on the Adobe side of the catalogue alongside Premiere Pro. The $49.99 listing, down from $80.00, is the Premiere & Photoshop version. DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro have their own versions, selected as separate variants on the same product page — one purchase does not cover every application. If After Effects is your primary tool rather than a companion to Premiere, email hello@MoonBear.shop to confirm exactly which files land in your download before you buy.

How Replica 3 Title Presets Work in After Effects

After Effects is where you get the most control, because you are inside the build rather than driving it through a panel. The workflow:

  1. Install the six fonts before you open a project — After Effects reads the system font list at launch, and a missing font means substituted type and a broken layout.
  2. Unzip the download to a permanent location — a project drive, not the Downloads folder.
  3. Open the project file — File > Open Project, or File > Import > File to pull the titles into a project you are already working in. Importing an After Effects project brings its compositions in as a folder in the Project panel.
  4. Preview the presets — open a title comp and hit the spacebar. Note the names of the ones that suit the piece.
  5. Drag the title comp into your main comp — it arrives as a single nested layer, which keeps your master timeline readable.
  6. Enable Collapse Transformations — click the sunburst icon in the switches column for the nested layer. The precomp then renders at the parent comp's resolution instead of rasterising at its own size, so scaling stays sharp.
  7. Edit the text — double-click the nested layer to open the precomp, then select the text layer and press Enter to retype. Keep character and paragraph settings as built unless you are deliberately redesigning.
  8. Change colours — use the Fill swatch in the Character panel for type, or a shape layer's Contents > Fill > Color. If colour is exposed through an expression control on a null, drive it there so one change updates every element.
  9. Retime the animation — inside the precomp, select the keyframes and Alt-drag or Option-drag the last one to stretch the whole set proportionally. For the nested layer as a unit, use Layer > Time > Time Stretch.
  10. Expose controls in Essential Graphics — Window > Essential Graphics, set the Master comp, then drag text source properties, colour properties and sliders into the panel. This is how you hand a title to a Premiere editor as a Motion Graphics template rather than an AE project.
  11. Set your comp resolution — the presets work at 4K and HD. If you change comp size, scale the nested title layer with Collapse Transformations on rather than rebuilding the elements individually.
  12. Render — Composition > Add to Render Queue, then in Output Module pick a codec that supports alpha and set Channels to RGB + Alpha if the title is going back into an edit. For a self-contained deliverable, use Composition > Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue instead.

Installing the Six Display Fonts

Wasted, Schoolyard, Spazz, Soap, Off-Vibe and Vibe come in OTF and TTF and install at the operating system level, which means every Adobe app sees them at once.

  1. Install one format per face — OTF or TTF. Both installed at once produces duplicate menu entries and ambiguous references between machines.
  2. macOS — double-click and click Install Font in Font Book, or drag to ~/Library/Fonts. Use /Library/Fonts for all user accounts.
  3. Windows — right-click the selected files and choose Install, or Install for all users, which writes to C:\Windows\Fonts.
  4. Relaunch After Effects — then check the Character panel to confirm all six appear.
  5. Install on render machines too — a farm node without the fonts will substitute silently and you will only find out when you watch the render.

Soap is available separately as The Font Soap, and MoonBear's wider fonts collection is worth a look if a job needs a text face to sit under these display cuts.

Tips for After Effects Artists

  • Duplicate before you modify — duplicate the title comp in the Project panel and work on the copy, so the original preset stays clean for the next sequence.
  • Watch for nested duplicates — duplicating a comp that contains precomps does not duplicate the precomps, so editing inside one can change every instance. Duplicate the nested comp itself when you need independence.
  • Collapse Transformations changes blending — it is the right default for scaling, but it also lets blend modes inside the precomp interact with layers below. If a title looks different the moment you enable it, that is why.
  • Build one system, not eighty-one — pick two or three presets for a piece and vary the content, not the design.
  • Grade first, title second — picking title colours against an ungraded plate means redoing them. A base grade such as the CineFilm Cinematic Film LUT Pack gives you the final palette to design against.

Licensing

Personal and commercial use is covered, and the pack is pre-cleared for YouTube. Broadcast work requires an extended licence, arranged through hello@MoonBear.shop.

Conclusion

After Effects gives you the deepest access to Replica 3: precomps you can open, text layers you can retype, keyframes you can retime, and Essential Graphics to publish the result to an editor. Install the fonts, enable Collapse Transformations on the nested title, and render with alpha when the title goes back into an edit. Pick up Replica 3 Title Presets — the $49.99 listing is the Premiere & Photoshop version, with Resolve and Final Cut Pro available as separate variants on the same page, so confirm your workflow with hello@MoonBear.shop if you are unsure.

FAQ

Q: What are Replica 3 Title Presets for After Effects?
A: 81 music-video-inspired title designs you edit inside compositions — retyping text layers in precomps, adjusting colours and keyframes, and publishing controls through Essential Graphics.

Q: Which version covers After Effects?
A: After Effects is listed among the compatible applications on the Adobe side. The $49.99 listing is the Premiere & Photoshop version; Resolve and Final Cut Pro are separate variants on the same product page, each $49.99. Email hello@MoonBear.shop to confirm the file list for an After Effects-first workflow.

Q: Why should I turn on Collapse Transformations?
A: It makes a nested title comp render at the parent composition's resolution instead of rasterising at its own, so scaling stays sharp. Be aware it also lets blend modes inside the precomp interact with layers below.

Q: Do I need extra plugins?
A: No. The pack requires no additional plugins, which also means nothing extra to install on a render machine.

Q: How do I get a title back into my edit?
A: Render from the render queue with Channels set to RGB + Alpha in the Output Module, then import that file into Premiere or Resolve. Alternatively, publish the comp as a Motion Graphics template via Essential Graphics.

Q: My text is substituting on the render node. Why?
A: The six bundled fonts are not installed on that machine. Install the OTF or TTF at the OS level there and relaunch.

Q: Can I use the titles commercially?
A: Yes, personal and commercial use is included and YouTube is pre-cleared. Broadcast needs an extended licence from hello@MoonBear.shop.
