Sister trope to [[Credits Montage]]. Compare [[Placeholder Titles]], which are similar in execution, but done because the real opening isn't ready.

* Some shows use a different style of [[Title Sequence]] for their first season (or first episode), then switch to a [[Title Montage]] later as they accumulate a stockpile of footage to use. Examples: ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'', ''[[Family Ties]]'', ''[[Honey I Shrunk the Kids (TV)|Honey I Shrunk the Kids]]:[[Recycled: theThe Series|The Series]]''.
* ''[[The A-Team (TV)|The A-Team]]''
* ''[[The Tomorrow People]]'' (1990s version) and ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' (both the original and the 2005 version) are unusual in that the montages consist of clips from the upcoming episode. The latter was inspired as an homage to ''[[Space 1999|Space: 1999]]'', which opened each episode in the same manner.
* ''[[Thunderbirds]]'' (probably the earliest example of this type) also uses only clips from the upcoming episode, apart from the Supermarionation credit, which appears over an exploding industrial complex. This shot is not present in any episode, and was made just for the montage. It is worth noting that both ''[[Thunderbirds]]'' and ''[[Space 1999|Space: 1999]]'' were made by Gerry Anderson.
* ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' did something similar, though some seasons had the standard "clips from the series" approach instead.
* This technique was also used for the original incarnation of ''[[Mission Impossible]]''.
