About the X Follow Press animation

Every other platform on this line goes from brand colour to neutral when the action lands. X goes from solid to hollow, and that is what this reproduces. Use it over screen recordings of the app or as a plain prompt with your name and handle set.

Where it fits

  • Over a screen recording of an X profile, matching the real button.
  • As a plain follow prompt with your name and handle set.
  • In a commentary video, at the moment you ask people to follow.

Filling it in

Your display name and handle are the row, and the two labels are the before and after: Follow, then Following. There is no colour field, because the button goes from solid white to a hollow outline and that contrast is the animation. Keep the name short.

Format and timing

X Follow Press 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 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 Press

Why does the button go hollow rather than grey?

Because that is what X does. Every other platform in this set goes from brand colour to neutral; X goes from solid to outline, and this reproduces it rather than averaging it out.

Can I change the button colour?

No. The white-to-outline flip is the whole gesture, and a coloured version would not read as X. For a coloured button, use the neutral subscribe press.
