About the Lesson Card animation

The teaching post for a course whose lessons are sentences rather than modules. The highlighter is sized to line two and drawn across it, so that line has to carry the point — the other two are setup and consequence. Keep it under about six words: a longer line runs out from under the band instead of resizing it.

Where it fits

  • As the teaching post for a course whose lessons are sentences.
  • In a series, one card per lesson, with the module in the kicker.
  • On a sales page, showing the kind of thing the course teaches.

Filling it in

Line two has to carry the point, since the highlighter is sized to it. Keep it under about six words: what the work is worth. Lines one and three are the setup and the consequence. The footer points at the full lesson, and the highlighter colour is the band.

Format and timing

Lesson Card is built at 1080 × 1080, a square frame, which sits in a feed post without cropping and centres neatly over wider footage, and runs 4 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 1.9 seconds, holds for 1.5 and clears in 0.7, 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 Lesson Card

What happens if line two is too long?

It runs out from under the band rather than resizing it, so the end of the line is unmarked. Trim to six words and the highlight covers it.

Can I highlight line one or three instead?

No. The band is drawn across the middle line. Arrange the sentence so the part worth keeping sits there, which is usually the better edit anyway.
