About the Typed Subscribe animation

Typed Subscribe fits the last seconds of a video, when you ask viewers to subscribe before they leave. The Word appears one letter at a time, as if it's being typed, with a caret blinking at the end. Change Word if you'd rather ask for something else, such as FOLLOW or JOIN, and keep it to about ten letters so it stays on one line. It's a graphic, so viewers still subscribe with the platform's own button.

Where it fits

  • Over the closing shot of a video, as the final ask before the end screen.
  • Midway through a tutorial, after a useful tip, as a short reminder.
  • At the start of a channel trailer, before you introduce yourself.

Filling it in

Keep Word in caps, like SUBSCRIBE or FOLLOW, to match the typed style. Place it over a calm part of the shot so each letter is clear as it appears.

Format and timing

Typed Subscribe 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 3 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 1.2 seconds, holds for 1.0 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 on a paid plan. The free plan shows a watermarked preview.

Questions about Typed Subscribe

Can I change the word?

Yes. Word is the only field, so type any short word and it's typed out letter by letter.

Does it subscribe viewers?

No. It's a graphic. Viewers subscribe with the platform's own button.

What size and length is it?

It's 640 x 360, a 16:9 overlay, and runs for 3 seconds. It has a transparent background, so it sits over your footage.
