Animated Subscribe Button Templates and Calls to Action
The subscribe reminder works best when it looks like part of your video, not a sticker from 2015. Type your channel name, add your avatar and pick a style: a channel card where a cursor presses the button and it turns to «subscribed», a glass card with the bell ringing, or a white capsule with a rotating gradient edge.
There are like, bell and follow animations, an up-next card, a link-in-description arrow, an add-to-cart animation for product videos and a question that asks viewers to comment. To close the video, an end screen with two video slots and a subscribe button, and a «part 2» card for Shorts series.

Questions
- Is this a green screen subscribe button?
- Better: it exports with a real transparent background (.mov), so there is no green to key out and no green edge around the button. You can also export it over your own clip as an MP4.
- Can I put my own channel name and picture?
- Yes. The channel name, subscriber count and avatar are fields in the editor.
- 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.
