A notification bell that is struck rather than shaken: the body swings, the clapper lags it, and the ring arcs pulse.
Bell Ring is the reminder beat for a stream about to start, a drop about to open, a thread worth turning notifications on for. The bell drops onto its crown and rings out in a decaying swing, so the motion reads as a strike instead of a wobble. Keep the line under about six words; it sits on one pill and is meant to be read at a glance.
The message sits on one pill, so keep it to six words at most: Stream starts in 5 min, Drop opens at noon. Write a time rather than soon. The accent tints the ring arcs, so choose a colour that separates from the footage. The strike is the point, so let the whole swing play.
Bell Ring is built at 640 × 360, a 16:9 landscape frame, the shape of a YouTube video, a stream layout and most editing timelines, and runs 3 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 0.7 seconds, holds for 1.4 and clears in 0.9, so cue it a beat before the moment it labels. Export it as an MP4 for a timeline or a feed, a GIF where video will not embed, or a MOV with an alpha channel to lay it over footage with nothing behind it. Renders go up to 4K on a paid plan, and Pro opens it free for the first seven days.
Because it is struck. The body drops onto its crown, the clapper lags behind, and the swing decays, which is what a real bell does. A shake reads as a phone buzzing; this reads as a ring.
No. Exports are silent, so add a bell or a chime in your editor if the moment wants one. The ring arcs give the impression of sound without it.
