About the YouTube Subscribe (Corner Badge) animation

The YouTube Corner Badge works on tutorials, essays and reposted clips. Set it clear of the player controls, captions and any existing channel watermark. The compact layout is best used briefly around a relevant callout rather than left on screen for the entire programme.

Where it fits

  • In the corner of a tutorial for its whole length, as a persistent credit.
  • On a video essay, appearing once when the channel is mentioned.
  • On a reposted clip, showing where the original came from.

Filling it in

Set it clear of the player controls, captions and any channel watermark YouTube already adds in the bottom right. Use the exact handle. Keep it brief around a relevant mention, or let it hold still if it is there as a credit.

Format and timing

YouTube Subscribe (Corner Badge) 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 (Corner Badge)

Will it double up with YouTube's own branding watermark?

It can. YouTube places a channel watermark in the bottom right of every video, so put this badge in a different corner to avoid two subscribe marks side by side.

Can I use it without the count?

Yes. Clear the counter and the badge shows the handle and the button only, which is tidier for a channel that is still growing.
