Anodised Bar
Anodised indigo, hard rim light, machined key.
A channel bar sits along the lower edge of the frame and carries your name and mark without covering the shot. It is the graphic a viewer sees most often, so it is the one worth making yours.

How this one is built
Anodised Bar is built from 4 shapes, 3 text layers, 1 image and 1 pointer, using a deep blue gradient and a shadow 88 pixels deep. Its colours are pale blue, deep blue, near-black, blue and white. Type is set in Inter.
The bar plate rises into place at 0.2s, the play glyph and play mark scale up at 0.8s, the channel rises into place at 1s, the handle rises into place at 1.1s, and 3 further beats follow before the end. The whole run is 6s at 60 frames a second.
It sits through the middle of the frame of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 52% of the width at 992×188 pixels.
What to do with it
- Make it yoursChange the words, the colours and the timing without breaking the animation that was built for the shape.
- Export it with transparencyWhich format your editor actually reads, and why a black rectangle behind your graphic means the wrong one was chosen.
- Keep it out of the controlsYouTube draws its progress bar and controls over the bottom of the picture. A bar pinned flush to the edge is the one that gets covered.
- What exporting costsOpening this template, changing it and watching it back are free. Getting the finished file out is $5 once for this project, or a plan if you make them often.
