About the Giveaway Wheel animation

Bring it in when you draw a winner live, so chat sees the moment the choice lands. The wheel spins up, slows down, overshoots the pointer by a peg and rocks back, then a plate slides out from behind it with the winner's name. Type the name into Winner and change Kicker if you want a different label. The wheel doesn't choose anyone, so pick the winner first and type their name in.

Where it fits

  • During a live giveaway, as the moment the winner is revealed.
  • In a stream highlight, replaying the draw for people who missed it.
  • In a follower milestone post, announcing who won the prize.

Filling it in

Type the winner's name exactly as it appears in chat, with the @ if you use it. Kicker is set in spaced capitals, so keep it to one word, like WINNER or PRIZE.

Format and timing

Giveaway Wheel 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 4 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 2.6 seconds, holds for 0.2 and clears in 1.1, 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 on a paid plan, and Pro opens it free for the first seven days.

Questions about Giveaway Wheel

Does the wheel pick a winner?

No. The wheel always lands the same way. Draw the winner first, then type their name into Winner.

Will a long name fit?

Short handles read best. The plate keeps its size, so a long name gets tight at the edge.

What size is it?

640 x 360, a 16:9 overlay with a transparent background, so it sits over your footage. It runs for 4 seconds.
