About the X Swipe Follow animation

The widest of the drag controls, for an end card pointing viewers from video to X. The knob and the cursor share keyframe times exactly, so the control reads as carried rather than escaping. Set the handle to yours.

Where it fits

  • As an end card pointing viewers from a YouTube video to X.
  • On a wide stream scene, as the follow prompt for the account.
  • In a webinar outro, with the handle held for people to type.

Filling it in

Set the handle with the @. The control label is the instruction and the after label the state, and the detail gives a reason: one swipe, and you are in. There is no colour field; the label switches ink behind the fill and that contrast is the animation.

Format and timing

X Swipe Follow 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 0.9 seconds, holds for 1.9 and clears in 1.2, 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 Swipe Follow

Why is the cursor dragging rather than clicking?

Because the control is a track. The knob and the cursor share keyframe times exactly, so the control reads as carried across, not as escaping from a click.

How is it different from the square swipe?

Width. This is the widest of the drag controls, drawn for a 16:9 frame, so the track is longer and the drag has further to travel. The square is for a feed.
