Chat Callout
Pulls one message out of chat, big enough to read on a phone.
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
Chat Callout is built from 2 shapes and 2 text layers, using a 24-pixel backdrop blur behind frosted glass rimmed in white and a shadow 70 pixels deep. Its colours are near-black, white and amber. Type is set in Inter.
The accent edge and card slide in at 0.1s, the chatter and message slide in at 0.4s. The whole run is 5s at 60 frames a second.
It sits across the lower third to the left of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 43% of the width at 820×210 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.
