Hold the room before a live broadcast with the start time and a plain promise about when the host will appear.
Starting Soon is a waiting screen for scheduled streams, premieres and virtual events. Set the local start time, include a time zone when the audience is distributed and keep the supporting line current. Pair it with licensed music or room tone, then switch scenes promptly when the stated time arrives.
Write the time as people read it locally, 8:30 PM, and add a time zone in the sub line if your audience spans more than one. Keep the kicker as STARTING SOON unless the show has a name worth saying twice. The sub line works best as a small promise, such as when you go live and what you open with.
Starting Soon 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 1.0 seconds, holds for 1.7 and clears in 1.3, 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.
No. The time is a text field, so it shows a fixed start time rather than minutes ticking down. If you want a ticking clock, layer a counter over it in your streaming software.
Set the media source to loop the clip. The entrance replays every few seconds, which keeps the screen alive without a hard cut. Some streamers prefer to hold the last frame instead.
