About this template
True-crime episode teaser template in a vertical 9:16 format for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Fifteen seconds of dark footage: interrogation lamps, an evidence board and a hand on a case file, each scene dissolving into black under a heavy tint.
The design builds a case file: a typed case number at the top, a condensed two-line title, red string lines pinned across the frame, one typed teaser line per scene, a tilted UNSOLVED stamp that pops in on the second scene, a thin red voice line and a red episode pill with the release date. A faint red wash pulses with the low mids of the soundtrack.
Rename the case and the title, type your own teaser lines, change the stamp and the date, and swap the footage for your own; the typing speed is one setting per line.
