@Username

How this one is built

@Username is built from 14 sparkles, 2 text layers, 1 shape and 1 button, 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, magenta, red and deep blue. Type is set in Inter.

The card scales up at 0.1s, the prompt rises into place at 0.3s, the @Username scales up at 0.6s, the handle rises into place at 1s, and 3 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 38% of the width at 720×380 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.
