About the Pre-order Ring animation

Made for the weeks before a product ships, when the number of pre-orders is the best reason to join them. The card rises in, your product sits in a disc, and a ring draws around it while a badge counts up to your figure. Add a Product photo, then set Headline, Detail and Pre-orders. Type Pre-orders with a plus sign, such as +128, so the badge reads as a running total. The count is only what you type, so update it before each export.

Where it fits

  • In a launch post, showing how many people have already ordered.
  • Over a clip from production, with the ship date in Detail.
  • As a stream overlay during a merch drop, updated as orders come in.

Filling it in

Headline works best as one short line, like Pre-order now. Put the ship month or date in Detail. The badge counts up from zero to whatever you type in Pre-orders, so a real number reads better than a round one.

Format and timing

Pre-order Ring 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 1.9 seconds, holds for 0.1 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.

Questions about Pre-order Ring

Does the ring show progress to a goal?

No. The ring fills the same amount every time. It shows momentum, not a share of a target.

Can I use my own product photo?

Yes. Add it in Product photo. It sits in a round disc, so a square photo with the item centred works best.

What size is it?

640 x 360, a 16:9 overlay with a transparent background, so it sits over your footage. It runs for 3 seconds.
