Seven slats dropping closed across the frame, the headline holding on the band they leave.
The stream interstitial — a break, a technical hold, the end of a session. The slats close rather than fade, because a hold card has to read as deliberate and a dissolve looks like something went wrong. Two lines only, and let the kicker say how long: back in five keeps a chat alive in a way brb does not.
Two lines only, and let the kicker say how long: BACK IN FIVE keeps a chat alive in a way BRB does not. The headline is the state, OFF AIR or PAUSED. There is no colour field; the slats take their tone from the source.
Shutter Slats is built at 1920 × 1080, 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 1.4 seconds, holds for 1.9 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, and the free plan exports at 720p with a watermark.
Because a hold card has to read as deliberate, and a dissolve looks like something went wrong. Slats dropping shut say the break was chosen.
Yes. Loop the exported MP4 and the slats close every four seconds. Or freeze the last frame if you want a still hold.
