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, and the free plan exports at 720p with a watermark.
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.
