Back Shortly
An interval card that says what is coming when you return.
A stream graphic arrives because something happened rather than because an editor put it there. Alerts come in from an edge so they never cover the middle of the picture, and the scene cards — starting soon, back shortly — are the ones an audience actually sits and looks at.

How this one is built
Back Shortly is built from 3 text layers and 1 shape, using a 36-pixel backdrop blur behind frosted glass with a refracted rim and a shadow 96 pixels deep. Its colours are white, near-black and blue. Type is set in Inter.
The panel scales up at 0.1s, the title fades up at 0.4s, the next fades up at 0.6s, the note fades up at 0.9s. The whole run is 10s at 60 frames a second.
It sits through the middle of the frame of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 47% of the width at 900×360 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.
- Get it into OBSA stream alert has to sit over the game with nothing behind it, which is the one thing an ordinary MP4 cannot do.
- 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.
