About the Camera Frame animation

Camera Frame is a persistent overlay for interviews, desk cams and livestream scenes. Use the nameplate for the programme, location or speaker, then choose an accent that holds up against the footage. Check the crop with the actual camera source so faces and captions stay clear of the frame edges.

Where it fits

  • Around the webcam source in a streaming layout, holding the location or segment name for the whole session.
  • On an interview recording where the guest's feed needs a branded border rather than a bare rectangle.
  • In a studio tour or behind-the-scenes clip to mark the room or the show.

Filling it in

Keep the nameplate to a place or a segment, LIVE FROM THE STUDIO or LATE SHOW, and leave the person's name to a lower third. Pick an accent that survives the lighting in the room; a colour close to the wall behind you will vanish. Check the crop with the actual camera before export so the frame does not cut a shoulder.

Format and timing

Camera Frame 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 0.9 seconds, holds for 1.3 and clears in 0.8, 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 Camera Frame

Does the frame scale to any camera size?

It is drawn for a 16:9 source. Scale the exported MOV to match your camera box in the streaming software, and the border keeps its proportions. A portrait camera would need cropping.

Will it loop cleanly if I leave it up all stream?

Yes. The frame settles into a still pose after the entrance, so set the source to hold its last frame and it sits there until you remove it.
