An @ tile spinning into place while the handle types itself out behind a caret.
A nameplate for the corner of a video, for the stretch where someone is deciding whether to look you up. Typing it out is what stops it reading as a watermark, since a handle that appears fully formed is ignored the way a logo is. Editing the handle holds it as plain text — the caret and the plate keep moving, but the letter-by-letter reveal is authored for the shipped value.
Type the handle without the @; the tile supplies it. The accent colour tints the plate. Editing the handle holds it as plain text: the caret and the plate keep moving, but the letter-by-letter reveal is authored for the shipped value, so your handle appears whole.
Handle Nameplate 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.
No. The typing animation is authored for the default value. Your handle replaces it as plain text while the caret and plate animate around it. To retype a custom handle, edit the source.
Because a handle that appears fully formed is ignored the way a logo is. The caret makes it read as something being said, which is what makes people look.
