Super Chat
A paid message held long enough to read out loud.
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
Super Chat is built from 3 text layers, 1 shape and 1 image, using a 26-pixel backdrop blur behind frosted glass rimmed in orange and a shadow 80 pixels deep. Its colours are near-black, orange and white. Type is set in Inter.
The chat plate slides in at 0.1s, the avatar scales up at 0.4s, the name and amount slide in at 0.4s, the message slides in at 0.6s. The whole run is 5s at 60 frames a second.
It sits along the top to the left of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 41% of the width at 780×200 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.
