Animations for Twitch streamers

Alerts, starting-soon screens, camera frames, goal meters and follow prompts, exported as transparent files your streaming software can read.

In short

CaliberVisual is a browser-based animation library for live streamers. You choose an animation such as a tip alert, a raid welcome, a starting-soon screen or a follower goal, replace its text with your own, apply your channel's colours and fonts, and export it as a MOV with a real alpha channel. That file goes into OBS or Streamlabs as a media source and sits over gameplay with nothing behind it. It exports files rather than hosting an alert service, so nothing listens to your channel events for you, and equally nothing goes down mid-stream.

What Twitch streamers put on screen

The alerts chat reacts to

A tip, a raid, a cheer. The moment somebody spends something on your channel is the moment an overlay earns its place. Each of these gives the name and the number equal billing, so viewers catch both without you having to read it out.

Screens between the action

The minutes before you go live and the seconds between scenes are what a first-time viewer judges fastest. A countdown that looks made rather than defaulted is the cheapest quality signal on the whole channel.

The furniture that stays up

Pieces that live on the canvas all session: a frame round the camera, a live badge with the viewer count, chat where people can actually read it, and a goal that moves when someone subscribes.

Follow and sub prompts that don't stall the stream

The same ask in five shapes, from a full card to a bare mark, a side slide, a lower third and a corner badge. There is always one that fits a slot your layout has not already spent.

Community moments worth marking

Giveaways, polls, questions and the people paying for the channel to exist. These are the overlays that make a stream feel like a room rather than a broadcast.

How to make a Twitch overlay for OBS

  1. 01

    Choose the alert or scene screen

    Open the animation you want, whether that is a tip alert, a starting-soon countdown, a camera frame or a goal meter.

  2. 02

    Make it your channel

    Type in your handle, goal or tagline and apply your brand kit so the colours and typeface match everything else on your canvas.

  3. 03

    Export MOV and add it in OBS

    Export at 1080p, then add the file to a scene as a Media Source. Tick Loop for anything meant to stay up, and leave it unticked for an alert you fire once.

How these land in your workflow

  • 1920 x 1080 browser layerThe canvas most scenes are built on. Export at 1080p and the animation lands at the size OBS is already working in, with no scaling to fix.
  • MOV with alphaA real alpha channel rather than a keyed colour. An alert composites over gameplay without a rectangle around it, at any brightness the game happens to be.
  • Loop it or fire itThe furniture, like a camera frame or a live badge, loops as a media source. An alert plays once when you show the source, then gets out of the way.
  • Reusable in the editThe same file cuts into a highlight reel or a YouTube upload, so the raid you welcomed live can open the video later that week.

Questions Twitch streamers ask

Can I use these as an OBS overlay?

Yes. Export the animation as a MOV, add it to a scene in OBS or Streamlabs as a Media Source, and position it. The alpha channel means anything transparent in the animation stays transparent over your gameplay. Tick Loop for pieces meant to stay up, and leave it unticked for an alert you want to fire once.

Do these fire automatically when someone tips or raids?

No, and that is the honest trade. CaliberVisual exports files rather than hosting an alert service, so nothing here listens to your Twitch events. What you get instead is an alert you can recolour, retime and re-export in a couple of minutes, a file that keeps working when a third-party service has an outage, and the same asset available in your editor when the clip becomes a video.

What resolution should I export at?

1080p, if your canvas is the usual 1920 x 1080, because the animation then lands pixel for pixel. Export at 4K only when your canvas is 4K, or when the same file is going into a video you will crop into later.

Will every overlay match my channel's colours?

Yes, if you save a brand kit. It holds your colours, typeface and logo, and applying it to an animation recolours and retypes the whole thing. A layout assembled from six different overlays then reads as one channel rather than six downloads.

Can I change the text after exporting?

Yes. Nothing is baked. Reopen the animation, change the field and export again. A goal meter with a new target or an alert with a new tagline is a two-minute job, not a re-commission.

Do these work on YouTube Live and Kick too?

Yes. The export is an ordinary video file, so anything that accepts a media source will take it. The wording on the follow prompts is Twitch's, but there are YouTube, TikTok, X and Facebook versions of the same animations in the library.
