About the YouTube Subscribe (Side Slide) animation

The YouTube Side Slide works well after a chapter, demonstration result or host reminder. Keep the channel handle accurate and write the kicker around the reason to return. Its brief side entrance gets attention without turning the middle of the video into an outro.

Where it fits

  • After a chapter ends, before the next one starts.
  • Right after a demonstration pays off, when the viewer is most likely to want more.
  • On a spoken reminder mid-video, timed to the words.

Filling it in

Write the kicker around the reason to return, SUBSCRIBE FOR PART TWO. The handle needs to be exact. This layout has no button, which keeps it from feeling like an outro in the middle of the video. Let it slide out before the next visual beat.

Format and timing

YouTube Subscribe (Side Slide) 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 (Side Slide)

Is a mid-video subscribe cue worth it?

When it follows something useful, yes. A prompt right after a result lands better than one at the end, when many viewers have already left. Once per video is enough.

Which side does it come from?

The left. Flip the exported layer horizontally in your editor to bring it in from the right. The text stays readable either way.
