About the Content Cycler animation

Made for a channel trailer or a pinned intro that tells new viewers what they get by subscribing. The card holds one disc that changes four times: a new icon, a name, a line of detail, and a ring that fills while its count climbs. Set Type 1 to Type 4 to your formats, give each a line in its detail field, and type a count for each, such as +48 for the number of videos. The icons are fixed, in order a tool, a camera, a star and a lightning bolt, so match your formats to them.

Where it fits

  • In a channel trailer, showing new viewers the four formats you post.
  • At the start of a Short, as a quick answer to what the channel is about.
  • In a milestone post, with each count set to how many videos of that kind you've made.

Filling it in

Name each type in one word, like Tutorials or Vlogs, and keep each detail line to four or five words. Counts read best with a plus sign, such as +48. Order your formats to suit the icons: a tool, a camera, a star and a lightning bolt.

Format and timing

Content Cycler 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 3.1 seconds, holds for 0.2 and clears in 0.7, 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 Content Cycler

Can I change the icons?

No. The four icons are fixed. Put the format that fits each one in the matching Type field.

Do the counts update from my channel?

No. Each count is what you type, and the ring fills the same way whatever the number.

What size is it?

640 x 360, a 16:9 overlay with a transparent background, so it sits over your footage. It runs for 4 seconds.
