About the Facebook Follow (No Card) animation

Facebook Follow (No Card) works over a clean or intentionally dark part of the edit. The open treatment feels lighter than a panel, making it useful in documentary and behind-the-scenes content. Choose a page name, count and accent with enough contrast against the exact shot underneath.

Where it fits

  • Over a dark or deliberately quiet part of a documentary-style edit.
  • In a behind-the-scenes clip, sitting on the footage rather than in a panel.
  • Over a still photograph in a slideshow post.

Filling it in

Without a card the accent must do the work. Facebook blue holds up on most footage but disappears on a sky. Choose the page name, count and colour against the exact shot the animation will sit over, and keep the kicker short so there is less text to protect.

Format and timing

Facebook Follow (No Card) 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 0.9, 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 Facebook Follow (No Card)

When does the card version work better?

Over busy or bright footage, where the plate gives the text something steady to sit on. Over calm, dark or still images the bare version looks lighter and more considered.

Can I add my own background behind it?

Yes. Export with alpha and place a colour block, a blur or a gradient on the layer below in your editor. That gives you a card in any shape you like.
