About the Corner Sale Flag animation

The sale mark for footage that is already carrying its own message: a product shot, a haul, a shop window clip. One field, and it wants a number rather than a sentence — the flag is cut for about four characters and the band grows away from the corner, so a word runs out of frame before it reads. The band ships without a colour field: its hairline sits in front of the fill, and recolouring the edge while the flag behind it stays put looks worse than leaving both alone.

Where it fits

  • As the sale mark on footage already carrying its own message.
  • Over a product shot, a haul or a shop window clip.
  • In a lookbook, in the corner of every frame on sale.

Filling it in

One field, and it wants a number rather than a sentence: -30%. The flag is cut for about four characters and the band grows away from the corner, so a word runs out of frame before it reads. There is no colour field because the hairline sits in front of the fill, and recolouring one without the other looks worse than leaving both alone.

Format and timing

Corner Sale Flag 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 1.5 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 Corner Sale Flag

Which corner does it unfurl from?

The top left. Flip the exported layer horizontally for the top right, or vertically for a bottom corner; the number stays readable when flipped once.

Why is there no colour option?

The band's fill sits behind its hairline edge, and the colour binding would reach the edge first and leave the flag behind it. It ships without a field rather than with one that recolours half the mark.
