About the X Follow (Side Slide) animation

The X Side Slide fits commentary videos, live analysis and clips built from a thread. Time it to the mention of the account, then clear it before the next graphic arrives. A short reason to follow in the kicker is more useful than simply repeating the platform name.

Where it fits

  • In a commentary video, appearing when the source account is mentioned aloud.
  • In live analysis, as a passing credit rather than a stop.
  • In a clip built from a thread, at the moment the original author is named.

Filling it in

Write the kicker as the reason someone would follow, FOLLOW FOR THE FULL THREAD, and keep the handle exact. No button on this one, so it reads as a credit. Cue it on the mention and let it leave before the next graphic arrives.

Format and timing

X Follow (Side Slide) 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 0.9 seconds, holds for 1.3 and clears in 0.9, 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 X Follow (Side Slide)

How long is it on screen?

About three seconds from entrance to exit. That is enough to read a handle twice. If the account deserves longer, use the lower third, which is built to sit for a while.

Can I stack two slides for two accounts?

Yes, but stagger them by a couple of seconds rather than showing both at once. Two handles arriving together are read as neither.
