About the Giveaway Entry Steps animation

The rules card, for the giveaway that keeps drawing entries which do not qualify. Each step checks itself as it lands, which reads as a form being completed rather than a list being displayed. Write every step as something the viewer can finish without leaving the app, and stop at three.

Where it fits

  • As the rules card for a giveaway that keeps drawing entries which do not qualify.
  • As an overlay while the host reads the rules.
  • In a Story after the announcement.

Filling it in

Write every step as something the viewer can finish without leaving the app: Follow the page, Like this post, Tag two friends. Stop at three. The number colour is the stamp on each step, and the kicker names the giveaway.

Format and timing

Giveaway Entry Steps 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 0.2 seconds, holds for 2.0 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 Giveaway Entry Steps

How is this different from the entry-steps card?

This one stamps each step complete as it lands, so it reads as a form being filled. The other has a rail that pulses. Both hold three steps; pick by which motion suits your feed.

Can I use it for a contest with a submission?

Yes, if the submission is one step: Post with the hashtag. Keep the other two in-app and the card still reads as three simple actions.
