About the Story Link Sticker animation

A stand-in for the platform’s own link sticker, for stories where the tap should read as your design rather than the app’s. The pulse is what makes it a target: a static pill in a story is read as a label, not as a control. Say where the link goes — “link in story” with nothing behind it earns one tap and no second.

Where it fits

  • In a Story where the tap should read as your design rather than the app's.
  • As the last frame of a vertical teaser, over the real link sticker.
  • In a product Story pointing at the shop.

Filling it in

Say where the link goes in the label, LINK IN STORY with nothing behind it earns one tap and no second. SHOP THE DROP or READ THE GUIDE reads better. The glyph colour tints the chain icon and the pulse.

Format and timing

Story Link Sticker 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 1.9 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 Story Link Sticker

Is the pill a real link?

No. Video cannot carry a tap. Place the platform's own link sticker over the pill so the drawn control and the working one sit together.

Why does it swing in on a pendulum?

So it arrives with weight and settles, which draws the eye to the spot. The pulse after it settles is what makes it read as a target rather than a label.
