How to use this asset+

This 1080x1080 transparent video asset is 5 seconds long and exports in WebM (with alpha channel) and ProRes 4444 formats.

Premiere Pro: Place on a track above your footage in the upper-right region using Effect Controls > Motion > Position. Keyframe the entry (scale from 0 to 100%) and exit (opacity to 0%).

DaVinci Resolve: Drop on a track above footage. Use the Inspector > Transform panel to position in the upper-right. Animate entry and exit in the Edit page or Fusion page.

Final Cut Pro: Add above your primary storyline. Use Inspector > Transform to position upper-right. Trim to 3–4 seconds and add a fade out using the clip opacity handle.

CapCut: Add as an overlay. Position upper-right using the canvas handles. Set duration to 3–4 seconds in the timeline.

OBS Studio: Add as a Browser Source for real-time alert integration with alert systems (Streamlabs Alerts, StreamElements). For pre-rendered alerts, use Media Source and trigger manually.

Tips

  • Position in the upper-right — this is the platform-native position for notifications (YouTube, gaming achievement popups) so viewers recognize it instantly.
  • Add a subtle sound on entry to direct attention. Keep it short (under 1 second) and non-intrusive.
  • Limit visibility to 3–4 seconds. Longer notifications become distracting and compete with your primary content.
Frequently asked questions+

How do I connect alert animations to OBS alert systems?

Use a Browser Source pointed at your Streamlabs or StreamElements widget URL for live alert triggering. Pre-rendered WebM animations work as Media Source for manual activation.

Can I match notification style to a specific platform (YouTube, Twitch)?

Yes — adjust colors and icon elements in the workspace editor before rendering to match each platform's visual language.

Can I use notification overlays for gaming achievement popups?

Yes. The animation style works equally well for game achievements. Position in the upper-right and keep it on screen for 3–4 seconds.

Is this asset free to use?

Yes, all community assets on Video Effect Vibe are free to download and use in your video projects.
