Overlay
Live Timer
Elapsed time beside a live dot that actually pulses.
An overlay sits on top of footage to call something out — a note, a toast, a marker — and leaves again without a cut.

How this one is built
Live Timer is built from 2 shapes and 2 text layers, using a 20-pixel backdrop blur behind frosted glass rimmed in white and a shadow 26 pixels deep. Its colours are near-black, white and red. Type is set in Inter and IBM Plex Mono.
The live dot fades up at 0s, the panel scales up at 0.1s, the live label and elapsed fade up at 0.4s. The whole run is 10s at 60 frames a second.
It sits along the top to the left of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 18% of the width at 347×80 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 clear of the edgesWhere an overlay can sit without colliding with the player, the end screen or a caption.
- YouTube Overlay MakerBuild an overlay from nothing, with the transparency decided by you rather than inherited.
- 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.
