About the Subscribe Tap animation

Subscribe Tap belongs near the end of a video or after a useful recurring segment. Edit the button label for the platform and make the support line specific: a release day, a series or a subject. A clear expectation is more persuasive than a generic request, and the short tap keeps the moment from dragging.

Where it fits

  • In the last ten seconds of a YouTube video, alongside the spoken subscribe ask.
  • After a recurring segment that just proved its value, before the next one starts.
  • In a channel trailer, as the closing frame.

Filling it in

Keep the button label as SUBSCRIBE for YouTube or change it to FOLLOW for platforms that use that word. The support line is the persuasive part. Write a specific promise, NEW VIDEOS EVERY FRIDAY or ONE RECIPE A WEEK, rather than a general thank-you. Cue it right after something worth subscribing for.

Format and timing

Subscribe Tap 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 0.7 seconds, holds for 1.3 and clears in 1.0, 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 Subscribe Tap

Does the cursor tap the button?

Yes. A pointer moves onto the button and presses it, and the label responds, which is what makes it read as an action rather than a label. The whole tap takes under a second.

Is there a bell icon as well?

Not in this one. It is the button and the support line only. If you want the notification bell in the same beat, look at the subscribe cards that include the bell ring.
