An Instagram story header (ringed avatar, handle, timestamp) with the follow chip morphing as it is tapped.
Story Follow is sized for the corner of a Reel or a screen recording. The chip morphs on its right edge so the wider FOLLOWING state opens into the space it needs. Set the timestamp to something plausible; a header claiming a post is two hours old on a week-old clip is the detail people notice.
Use your handle with the @ and a timestamp that fits the clip; a header claiming two hours ago on a week-old post is the detail people spot. The chip morphs on its right edge from FOLLOW to the wider FOLLOWING, so keep the labels as the platform writes them. The chip colour can be Instagram's or yours.
Instagram Story 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 3 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 0.7 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.
The ringed avatar is a plate rather than an image field, so it reads as a profile picture without needing one. The handle is what identifies the account.
Yes. It was drawn for the top corner of a 9:16 clip, so scale it to about half the frame width and park it top left, where the real Story header sits.
