About the Spots Left animation

Spots Left is made for limited enrolment where the number is meaningful. Set the counter to current availability, identify the cohort or event and say when registration closes. It works in reminder emails, founder-led launch videos and social updates; export a new version whenever the figure changes rather than leaving stale scarcity live.

Where it fits

  • In a course launch reminder, with the seat count refreshed as enrolment moves.
  • As a Story before a workshop closes, naming the cohort and the deadline.
  • In a founder-led video, as the beat that turns interest into a decision.

Filling it in

Put the cohort or event in the kicker, the seats remaining in the big field as 7 LEFT, and the capacity and closing date in the sub line. The seats colour tints the seat marks, so pick something that stands out from the background. Re-export whenever the number changes.

Format and timing

Spots Left is built at 1080 × 1920, a 9:16 portrait frame, the shape Reels, TikTok, Shorts and Stories fill from edge to edge, and runs 4 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 1.0 seconds, holds for 1.8 and clears in 1.2, 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 Spots Left

Do the seat marks show the real ratio?

The marks fill to a fixed proportion rather than reading your numbers, so they illustrate scarcity rather than plot it. The text carries the exact count.

Can I use it for tickets rather than seats?

Yes. Write 7 LEFT and of 200 tickets in the sub line and it reads as a ticket count. The seat marks are abstract enough to pass for either.
