About the Deploy Shipped animation

The ship notification, for a changelog clip, a status channel or a build-in-public post. The roll on the version is the whole tell — a number that changes reads as a release, and a number that fades in reads as a label. Keep the build line factual: the number and the duration, not an adjective.

Where it fits

  • As the ship notification for a changelog clip or a build-in-public post.
  • In a status channel, as the release beat.
  • In a product update video, marking the deploy.

Filling it in

Keep the build line factual, build 4192, 38s, the number and the duration, not an adjective. The status is one word, SHIPPED or LIVE. There is no colour field, so the burst takes its palette from the source.

Format and timing

Deploy Shipped 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 1.7 and clears in 0.4, 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 Deploy Shipped

Does the version number roll to what I type?

The roll is authored in the source and your build line sits as text in the chip. For a rolling custom number, edit the Lottie before export.

Why does the number roll rather than fade in?

Because a number that changes reads as a release, and a number that fades in reads as a label. The roll is the whole tell.
