About the Emote Rain animation

Emote Rain is a celebration overlay for follows, subs, raids and community goals. Change the message to the event being marked and set the emote colour to the channel palette. It works best in a short burst over the live scene, where the audience reaction remains visible without obscuring the stream for long.

Where it fits

  • Fired over the live scene when a follower or sub goal lands, so chat sees the moment marked on stream.
  • Cut into the end of a milestone video to close on the number rather than on a talking head.
  • As a looping thank-you clip posted to the community tab or a Discord announcement.

Filling it in

Write the message as the milestone itself, a number and a noun, rather than a sentence of thanks. 1,000 FOLLOWERS lands harder than Thank you for 1,000 follows. Set the emote colour to your main channel accent. A near-white colour disappears against bright gameplay, so keep some saturation.

Format and timing

Emote Rain 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 Emote Rain

Can I use my own channel emotes instead of the shapes?

Not in this template. The falling emotes are drawn shapes tinted by the colour field, which keeps the file light and the export quick. A version with image slots would need custom work.

How long should it stay on screen during a stream?

Play it once and let it clear. Three seconds is enough to register the milestone without hiding the game, and a looped rain quickly turns from celebration into clutter.
