About the Canvas Follow animation

Canvas Follow is part of the Design Canvas set. The follow button is resized into place next to your profile picture, then the click draws your story ring. Change the words and colours to match your channel, then export it to drop over your video.

Where it fits

  • The follow button is resized into place next to your profile picture, then the click draws your story ring.
  • Follow, at the moment a viewer is most likely to act.

Filling it in

Place it where the viewer's eye already is, and keep it on screen for the full animation. Keep the words short so they read on a phone.

Format and timing

Canvas Follow 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 4 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 2.3 seconds, holds for 0.9 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 on a paid plan, and Pro opens it free for the first seven days.
