About the YouTube Watch Page animation

YouTube Watch Page shows the ask where it actually happens, which makes it useful for onboarding, course intros and explainers. The scrubber advances throughout, so the page reads as a video playing rather than a screenshot with motion on top. Put your real video title and channel name in. A generic title undercuts the whole frame.

Where it fits

  • In a course intro, showing the subscribe action where it actually happens.
  • In an explainer about YouTube, as the frame that shows the watch page.
  • In an onboarding clip for a series, with the real video title in place.

Filling it in

Use your actual video title and channel name. A generic title undercuts the whole frame. The subscriber line and the two button states complete the row. The scrubber advances through the clip on its own, so the page reads as a video playing rather than a still with a button on it.

Format and timing

YouTube Watch Page is built at 1920 × 1080, a 16:9 landscape frame, the shape of a YouTube video, a stream layout and most editing timelines, and runs 4 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 1.0 seconds, holds for 1.8 and clears in 1.2, 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 Watch Page

Does it show video content in the player?

The player is a tone plate rather than a video slot, so it stays neutral. Cut to your real footage before or after, or overlay the comp on a screen recording of the actual page.

Can I hide the cursor?

Not on this one. The cursor is what carries the press. For a press without a pointer, the Shorts comp uses a tap ripple instead.
