TikTok Follow Pop Compact

How this one is built

TikTok Follow Pop Compact is built from 3 shapes, 1 text layer, 1 button and 1 pointer, using a 30-pixel backdrop blur behind frosted glass with a refracted rim and a shadow 70 pixels deep. Its colours are near-black, white and red. Type is set in Inter.

The bar plate slides in at 0.2s, the avatar scales up at 0.5s, the avatar initials fades up at 0.6s, the action button scales up at 1s, and 2 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 25% of the width at 473×158 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.
• Place it where it readsA handle is only useful if it stays legible on a phone, which is where most of it is watched.
• 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.
