Neon Glass Relief
Clear glass letters lit from both sides by magenta and cyan.
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
Neon Glass Relief is built from 5 shapes, 2 text layers, 1 image and 1 3D layer, using a 42-pixel backdrop blur behind frosted glass with a refracted rim, a magenta-to-teal gradient, the word "YouBrand" extruded in glass under neon light and a shadow 96 pixels deep. Its colours are near-black, teal, magenta, white and pale blue. Type is set in Inter.
The bar plate rises into place at 0.2s, the mark glow fades up at 0.5s, the channel name 3D scales up at 0.6s, the play mark rises into place at 0.6s, and 6 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 60% of the width at 1152×188 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.
