Use it as an editable DaVinci Resolve title

Export this asset as a .drfx template for DaVinci Resolve 21+ on macOS and Windows, instead of a rendered clip. These settings become controls in the Resolve Inspector, so you can change them for each video without rendering again:

  • Subscribe Text
  • Share Text
  • Light Dock Background
  • Dark Dock Background
  • Light Pill Background
  • Dark Pill Background
  • Light Text & Icon Color
  • Dark Text & Icon Color
  • Font Size
  • Overall Scale
  • Dock Internal Padding
  • Pill Gap
  • Corner Radius
  • Show Soft Shadow
  • Show Click Ripple Effect
  • Show Button Click Recoil
  • Entrance Duration (Frames)

Add the asset to your workspace and choose DaVinci on its card. The editable export is a one-time unlock of 15 tokens (5 for your own assets); downloading it again is free. If the asset can't be packaged as a Resolve title, the export stops before any tokens are charged.

How to use this asset+

This 1080x1920 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 and keyframe the entry point at your target timestamp. Use Effect Controls > Motion to position it visually away from the subject's face.

DaVinci Resolve: Drop on a track above footage. Use the Inspector > Transform panel to position and set opacity keyframes for entry and exit timing.

Final Cut Pro: Add above your primary storyline. Set the clip in-point to your target timestamp. Use Inspector > Transform for positioning.

CapCut: Add as an overlay. Set the start point in the timeline to your target CTA moment. Use canvas handles to position.

Tips

  • Trigger CTAs after you've delivered value — at 30–60 seconds in — when viewers are already engaged and most likely to act.
  • Add a second CTA in the final 15 seconds of your video when viewer retention is highest among those who watched through.
  • Avoid placing CTAs in the first 10 seconds — it signals desperation and can increase early drop-off rates.
Frequently asked questions+

When is the best time to show a CTA on YouTube?

30–60 seconds in is the highest-converting window. A second placement in the final 15 seconds captures committed viewers.

Can I use a CTA animation with an end screen?

Yes — position the CTA slightly before your end screen activates (20 seconds from end on YouTube) to bridge the content-to-action transition.

How often should I show a CTA in a single video?

Once at the 30–60 second mark and once in the final 15 seconds is the standard. More than two CTAs per video tends to feel aggressive.

Is this asset free to use?

Yes. You can add and customize community assets for free, then download one rendered WebM or ProRes 4444 clip per day with a watermark to use in your video projects. Exporting an asset as an editable DaVinci Resolve title is a separate paid unlock.

Can I customize this asset?

Use the live configuration above to preview changes, then sign up for a free account to add this asset to your workspace. From there you can edit colors, text, timing, and other properties before rendering.

What formats are available?

Rendered clips are available as WebM with alpha channel and ProRes 4444. Both include true transparency for clean compositing in your timeline. Assets with supported text, color, number and on/off settings can also be exported as editable DaVinci Resolve 21+ titles (.drfx).
