About the Sale Grid Flip animation

The sale post that says what is reduced and by how much in one square. The front of each tile names the category, the back gives the cut, and the flip is the reveal, so the numbers land after the categories have been read. Keep the categories to one word and the discounts to a figure with its sign; a tile has room for TOPS and −30%, not for Selected knitwear up to thirty percent. The badge colour is the disc under the SALE mark, cream by default so it reads against the dark tiles.

Where it fits

  • As the feed post that opens a sale across departments, one tile per category.
  • In a Story, cropped to the grid, before the individual product posts follow.
  • As a paid square ad, where four numbers do more than one headline.

Filling it in

One word per category and a figure with its sign per discount: TOPS and −30%. Longer text overruns the tile. Put the biggest cut last, since the tiles flip in order and the fourth is the one people wait for. The badge can say SALE, or the name of the sale if it fits in four letters or so, and its colour is the disc it sits on.

Format and timing

Sale Grid Flip is built at 1080 × 1080, a square frame, which sits in a feed post without cropping and centres neatly over wider footage, and runs 5 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 1.9 seconds, holds for 2.3 and clears in 0.8, 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 Sale Grid Flip

Do the tiles flip at the same time?

No, one after another from the first to the fourth, a fifth of a second apart, so the eye follows the row and reads each discount as it turns.

Can I use it for fewer than four categories?

All four fields want text. With three categories, give the fourth tile to the sale as a whole, ALL and −20%, or repeat the headline discount; a blank tile flips to nothing.
