Now Playing Bar 4K
Track bar with a live equaliser.

How this one is built
Now Playing Bar 4K is built from 6 shapes, 3 text layers and 1 image, using a 58-pixel backdrop blur behind frosted glass rimmed in white, a violet-to-blue gradient and a shadow 140 pixels deep. Its colours are near-black, white, violet and blue. Type is set in Inter.
The bar slides in at 0.2s, the cover art scales up at 0.4s, the kicker and track rise into place at 0.5s, the artist rises into place at 0.7s, and 2 further beats follow before the end. The whole run is 6s at 60 frames a second.
It sits along the lower edge to the left of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 49% of the width at 1880×300 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.
