About the Subscribe Reason animation

Subscribe Reason is for the beat where you ask, and would rather give a reason than repeat the word. The ask stays fixed and the line beneath it changes once mid-hold, which is enough to read at a glance without stopping the video. Keep both reasons short and concrete. A schedule and a perk work better than a plea.

Where it fits

  • At the point in a video where you ask people to subscribe, with a reason on screen instead of a plea.
  • In a channel trailer, giving the schedule and the perk in one pill.
  • As a recurring bumper in a series, so the ask never has to be repeated aloud.

Filling it in

Keep the ask to one word, SUBSCRIBE or FOLLOW. The two reasons swap mid-hold, so write them short and concrete: a schedule first, New videos every Friday, then a perk, Members get them a day early. A promise beats a thank-you here, and neither line should run past about thirty characters.

Format and timing

Subscribe Reason 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 1.4 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.

Questions about Subscribe Reason

Can I use only one reason?

Yes. Put the same line in both fields or leave the second empty, and the pill holds one reason for the whole clip. Two is better when you have two things worth saying.

How is this different from the subscribe tap?

The tap animates a button being pressed. This one holds still and changes the argument underneath. Pick the tap when you want to show the action, this one when you want to make the case.
