About the YouTube Subscribe (Lower Third) animation

This lower-third version gives the handle a broadcast-like entrance while keeping the main picture available. Use it when the host names the channel or after a recurring segment proves its value. Leave enough safe space for captions and mobile crops before committing to the export.

Where it fits

  • In an introduction, when the host names the channel.
  • In a collaboration, crediting the guest's channel with a handle to search.
  • As a mid-roll reminder after a recurring segment.

Filling it in

Use the exact handle and keep the count current or clear it. The button label can stay as SUBSCRIBE. Leave enough safe space for captions and for the crop mobile players apply, because the lower edge is the first thing lost.

Format and timing

YouTube Subscribe (Lower Third) 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 (Lower Third)

How is this different from the corner badge?

The lower third is wider and enters with more motion, so it announces the channel. The badge is small and still, so it credits without interrupting.

Does it work on a Short?

Yes, scaled across the width of the 9:16 frame and placed above the Shorts caption zone, which takes the bottom fifth of the screen.
