About the Birthday Shoutout animation

Show it on stream or in a video when a regular, a moderator or a fellow creator has a birthday. Balloons drift up behind a card, the profile picture pops into a ring with a soft echo, then Title, Handle and From appear. Add their Profile picture and change Title, Handle and From. Use a photo with the face centred, since it's cropped to a circle. Ask first before using someone else's photo.

Where it fits

  • Live on stream, when chat mentions it's a regular's birthday.
  • In a community update video, celebrating a moderator.
  • Over a collab clip, wishing your guest a happy birthday.

Filling it in

Type Handle with the @ so it reads as a username. From works best as a group, such as From the mod team or From everyone in chat.

Format and timing

Birthday Shoutout 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 1.1 seconds, holds for 2.0 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. The free plan shows a watermarked preview.
