About the YouTube Subscribe animation

YouTube Subscribe is made for channel trailers, campaign landing videos and dedicated calls to action. Use the official handle, update the count and let the kicker name the series or publishing promise. Hold the finished card long enough for viewers to read it before the video ends.

Where it fits

  • As the end screen of a channel trailer, held while the outro music plays.
  • In a campaign video that lives on another platform and needs to send people to YouTube.
  • At the close of a long video, under the spoken subscribe ask.

Filling it in

The kicker is for the promise: NEW EPISODES SUNDAYS or the series name. Use the official handle with the @. The counter climbs to the subscriber figure you enter, so keep it current. YouTube red is the default and works on most footage.

Format and timing

YouTube 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 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 YouTube Subscribe

Does it fit inside YouTube's end screen area?

Keep it in the centre or one side, leaving room for the end-screen elements YouTube overlays in the last twenty seconds. Those elements sit on top of your video and will cover anything under them.

Does the subscriber count animate?

Yes. It counts up from zero to your figure as the card lands. Type it with commas and the word SUBSCRIBERS after it and both are kept.
