About the Challenge Day animation

Open each daily post in a challenge with it, so returning viewers know where you are. The day number rolls up while a ring of days fills. Change Kicker, Title, Subline and Day, and pick a Ring colour. Day counts up to the number you type, so update it for each post. Keep Title to a few words so it sits on one line.

Where it fits

  • At the start of a daily drawing video, to show which day it is.
  • In the corner of a workout clip during a month-long fitness challenge.
  • At the end of the final day, to mark the challenge complete.

Filling it in

Set Subline to the length of your challenge, like 30 days, one a day. Keep Kicker as DAY, or change it to WEEK for a weekly series. Pick a Ring colour that stands out over your footage.

Format and timing

Challenge Day 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 1.7 seconds, holds for 0.5 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 on a paid plan. The free plan shows a watermarked preview.

Questions about Challenge Day

Can the day show another number?

Yes. Day counts up to the number you type, so change it for each post.

What size and length is it?

640 x 360, a 16:9 overlay with a transparent background, so it sits over your footage. It runs for 3 seconds.
