About the Comment Burst animation

Comment Burst is built for questions, premieres and community challenges where replies are part of the content. Keep the central message short and actionable, then attach the correct account handle. Use it once the topic is clear; asking people to 'say hello' works better when they know what conversation they are joining.

Where it fits

  • On a question post, when the replies are the content you want.
  • At the start of a premiere, inviting the chat to say where they are watching from.
  • In a community challenge announcement, as the beat that asks people to join in.

Filling it in

Keep the central message to two or three words and make it a thing to do: SAY HELLO, DROP YOUR CITY, RATE IT. The kicker frames the energy. Use the handle field for the account the replies go to. Play it after the topic is clear, since an ask with no context gets no answers.

Format and timing

Comment Burst 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. 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 Comment Burst

What is the rush of comments made of?

Drawn comment bubbles that fly past behind the message. They carry no text of their own, so nothing in the burst says anything you did not write.

Does the handle need the @?

Include it. The handle is there so someone who screenshots the post knows which account to reply to, and the @ is what makes it read as a handle.
