About the Sold Out Stamp animation

The post for the thing that has gone, which is a sales post in disguise: sold out is the proof and the pill is the ask. Put the product in the photo as it was sold, and use the pill for what happens next in a form someone can act on, RESTOCK FRIDAY · JOIN WAITLIST or BACK MARCH · TAP TO BE NOTIFIED. The stamp text is the stamp, in caps and two words; anything longer shrinks the mark. The red is fixed, shared between the rings and the type.

Where it fits

  • As the post that turns a sell-out into a waitlist, the day the last one goes.
  • In a Story over the product shot, with the platform's link sticker on the pill.
  • In a recap of a launch that went in a day, one stamp per product.

Filling it in

Square product photo as it was sold; the stamp lands over the centre, so the photo should hold the product there. Stamp in two caps words: SOLD OUT, ALL GONE. The pill is the action line, and a dot between two short halves works, RESTOCK FRIDAY · JOIN WAITLIST, with the second half something a viewer can do. No colour field; the red is the stamp.

Format and timing

Sold Out Stamp is built at 1080 × 1080, a square frame, which sits in a feed post without cropping and centres neatly over wider footage, and runs 4 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 1.6 seconds, holds for 1.6 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 Sold Out Stamp

Can I change the stamp colour?

No. The red is shared between the rings and the lettering, and a field would recolour the rings and leave the type. The dark pill and the off-white ground are fixed too, which is what makes the red land.

What if there is no restock?

Say so, and give something else: SOLD OUT · SEE WHAT'S LEFT, or NO RESTOCK · SIMILAR IN STORE. The pill is the reason to keep watching after the stamp; leave it empty and the post ends on a no.
