Timer Ring
A ring that empties once, with the seconds inside it.
An overlay sits on top of footage to call something out — a note, a toast, a marker — and leaves again without a cut.

How this one is built
Timer Ring is built from 2 shapes and 1 text layer, using a shadow 36 pixels deep. Its colours are white and teal. Type is set in IBM Plex Mono.
The ring track and ring fade up at 0.1s, the count scales up at 0.4s. The whole run is 10s at 60 frames a second.
It sits along the top to the right of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 9% of the width at 180×180 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.
