Subscribe + Avatar

How this one is built

Subscribe + Avatar is built from 14 sparkles, 2 shapes, 2 text layers and 1 image, using a 30-pixel backdrop blur behind frosted glass rimmed in white, a magenta-to-red gradient and a shadow 70 pixels deep. Its colours are near-black, white, red, magenta and pale amber. Type is set in Inter.

The card scales up at 0.1s, the avatar scales up at 0.2s, the channel rises into place at 0.5s, the subscribers rises into place at 0.7s, and 5 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 45% of the width at 860×470 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.
• Put it in the videoWhen in a video a subscribe prompt earns the click, and where on the frame it can sit without being covered.
• YouTube Subscribe Animation MakerStart from an empty canvas instead, and decide the press, the colours and the timing yourself.
• 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.
