About the Block Wave Counter animation

The milestone card for a figure worth a post of its own: orders shipped, sign-ups, downloads. The wave runs the full hold, so this survives being on screen longer than a beat, which is what makes it usable as a stream or stage plate. Label the number in two or three words: the figure is the subject and the label only says which figure it is.

Where it fits

  • As the milestone card for a figure worth a post: orders shipped, sign-ups, downloads.
  • As a stream or stage plate, since the wave runs the full hold.
  • In a recap, held under a voiceover.

Filling it in

Label the number in two or three words, ORDERS SHIPPED, because the figure is the subject and the label only says which figure it is. The counter climbs to the value you type, with commas kept. No colour field; the blocks take their tone from the source.

Format and timing

Block Wave Counter is built at 1080 × 1080, a square frame, which sits in a feed post without cropping and centres neatly over wider footage, and runs 5 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 1.1 seconds, holds for 3.1 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.

Questions about Block Wave Counter

Can I hold it on screen longer than five seconds?

Yes. The wave keeps rolling through the hold, so loop the exported clip or freeze the last frame and it still reads as alive rather than stuck.

Does it work as an overlay?

It is a full-frame square. Cut it in rather than laying it over footage, or scale it into a corner of a wide stream layout as a plate.
