Starting Soon
The card people watch longest. A title and a countdown.
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
Starting Soon is built from 3 text layers and 1 shape, using a shadow 24 pixels deep. Its colours are white, near-black and violet. Type is set in Inter and IBM Plex Mono.
The title fades up at 0.1s, the rule scales up at 0.6s, the countdown fades up at 0.7s, the note fades up at 1s. 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 896×426 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.
