Facecam Frames and Video Layouts — Webcam, Reaction, Podcast
Facecam frame
Facecam frame: polaroid, tape, film or 3D
Video border: torn paper, film, polaroid or 3D
Reaction layout
A frame is what makes a webcam in the corner look intentional instead of pasted on. The facecam frame goes in whichever corner you pick, with your name, a «LIVE» tag and a line of socials that keeps changing; it comes in neon, glass, paper with tape and 8-bit pixel. Export it without a background and put your camera underneath, or upload the clip straight into the slot.
For commentary there is the reaction layout: the clip you're reacting to, big, your face in a corner and «REACTING TO…» with the title; in vertical it splits into top and bottom. Podcasts get a frame for two or three cameras, each with a name and role, where whoever is talking lights up with an audio wave and the others dim.
The other layouts organize a clip and some text. The glass card floats in a corner while your video plays large, the side layout puts your clip on the left and a list on the right, and «video on top, text below» is the one that fits Shorts and Reels. The camera viewfinder draws four corner brackets around a shot, and the propped-up photo puts an image on a white card with a long shadow. Empty slots stay transparent, so your own footage shows through.

Questions
- Can I use the facecam frame in OBS while streaming?
- The frame is a video file, not a live source: it is made for edited videos such as gameplay, tutorials or stream highlights. You can loop the transparent .mov in an editor or as a media source, but your name and socials are fixed in the file.
- What happens in vertical 9:16?
- The layouts rearrange themselves: the reaction layout and the side layout stack top and bottom, and the podcast frame shows two cameras stacked or one big and two below.
- Do I need After Effects?
- No. Every template is edited in your browser: type your text, choose colors and format (16:9, 9:16 or 1:1), watch the live preview and export.
- What do I export, and does it work in my editor?
- Most templates export as a ProRes 4444 .mov with a transparent background, which you place on a track above your clip in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro. You can also export an MP4 with your own clip behind it. Always in Full HD.
- Is it free?
- Editing and previewing are free and need no account. To export you sign in with Google; during the open beta, new accounts get export credits at no cost.
