About the YouTube Subscribe Bar animation

YouTube Subscribe Bar is the piece most creators want: your name, your count and a button that gets pressed, sitting over your footage. It keeps the same proportions as the full-frame channel page, so the two cut together. Leave it running through a section of dialogue rather than flashing it for a second.

Where it fits

  • Parked in the lower third while you make the ask on camera.
  • Under a talking head through a section of dialogue, rather than flashed for a second.
  • Cut together with the full-frame channel page, since the two share proportions.

Filling it in

Your name, your count and the two button states are the whole card. Write the subscriber line as YouTube shows it, 248K subscribers. Leave the bar running through the ask rather than cutting it early; the press lands partway through, and the subscribed state is what you want people to see.

Format and timing

YouTube Subscribe Bar 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 0.7 seconds, holds for 1.3 and clears in 1.0, 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 Bar

Is this the same row as the channel page comp?

Yes, drawn at the same proportions, so a cut from the full page to this overlay over footage matches. Set the same values in both and they read as one interface.

Where should it sit in a vertical video?

Across the lower third, above the caption zone, scaled to the frame width. On a 9:16 clip that puts it roughly at chest height on a talking head.
