About the YouTube Subscribe Press animation

Park this over footage while you make the ask, so viewers see the action instead of only hearing it. The button opens leftward from its right edge the way the real control does. Set the channel name and subscriber line to yours; if you have not hit a round number yet, an honest count reads better than a rounded one.

Where it fits

  • Over footage while you make the ask, so the action is seen as well as heard.
  • In a mid-video reminder, smaller than a full end card.
  • Over a screen recording of a channel, matching the real control.

Filling it in

Set the channel name and subscriber line to yours, and use an honest count rather than a rounded one if you have not hit a milestone. The two button labels are the before and after. The pill opens leftward from its right edge the way the real button does, so keep the after label a little longer than the before.

Format and timing

YouTube Subscribe Press 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 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 Press

Why does the button grow to the left?

Because the real control does. The right edge stays fixed and the pill widens into the space on its left as SUBSCRIBE becomes SUBSCRIBED, so the row keeps its alignment.

Can I use my own colour instead of red?

Yes. The button colour field tints the pill. Red reads as YouTube; a brand colour reads as your own prompt, and both are fine.
