A breaking-news strap with a real headline and timestamp, designed to carry urgent information across footage without swallowing it.
Breaking Banner belongs at the top or bottom of a news clip, live update or newsroom-style social post. The small breaking tag sets the pace, while the headline remains the part people actually read. Add the current time when immediacy matters, or turn that field into a location or edition marker.
The headline is the part people read, so write it as a news line in one clause, Transit bill clears the upper chamber. Keep the tag as BREAKING or change it to LIVE, UPDATE or DEVELOPING. The timestamp can be the time, a location or an edition marker.
Breaking Banner 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 0.8 seconds, holds for 1.6 and clears in 0.6, 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.
About forty-five characters on one line. Anything longer is cut, so trim to the fact and put the detail in the caption or the voiceover.
Yes, and it is often used that way. The strap reads as a news banner without copying any network's look, so a BREAKING over a cat is a bit that lands.
