Subscribe Banner: a channel bar with a bell

One bar that does the whole ask: who you are, the button, and the bell most subscribe animations forget. Everything on it is a layer you retype where it stands.

The whole ask on one bar

Subscribe Banner is eight seconds at 1920 by 1080. A line — Never miss a new video — draws in between two red rules, and a dark glass bar arrives under it carrying an avatar in a red ring, the channel name with a verified badge, the handle, a Subscribe button and a bell.

A cursor comes in and presses Subscribe, the press ripples out, and the button turns to Subscribed. Then the cursor moves on to the bell — which carries a red dot the way YouTube's does — and presses that too. Under the bar a last line tells the viewer why: tap the bell to be the first to know. Then the bar leaves.

The whole eight seconds, on the template's own dark ground.

Why the bell

Subscribing puts a channel's videos in a viewer's subscriptions feed. The bell decides how often YouTube tells them about a new one, and set to All it notifies them of every upload. Most subscribe animations stop at the button. This one takes the second step on screen, which is the step viewers most often do not know exists.

Yours in a minute

The initials, the name, the handle, the heading and the line underneath are ordinary text layers: double-click one on the canvas and type. The avatar is a picture layer that takes your channel picture, and with a YouTube channel imported the name, handle and picture go in by themselves.

Export it with a transparent background and lay it over your video in any editor — ProRes 4444 for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or After Effects, WebM for the web, or an MP4 on green for CapCut.
