Location Stamp — A printed caption slip in the corner of the shot, its rule drawing left to right and uncovering the date beneath it

This is the format it was composed for. Switch above to see it lay itself out for another — same animation, re-arranged for the frame.

What you can change — 7 settings

Everything below can be changed without touching the animation. Hand the list to an agent, or edit the values at the bottom of the component file.

  • Place *
    place · string

    The place. Set large in the brand's display serif, in the case you type it — title case reads as a plate caption, all caps reads as a chyron.

    now: Kyoto

  • Detail
    detail · string

    The line under the rule: a date, a roll number, a co-ordinate. Rendered in wide-tracked caps whatever you type. Leave it empty for the place on its own.

    now: March 1987 · Roll 14

  • Corner
    corner · "bottom-left" | "bottom-right" | "top-left" | "top-right"

    Which corner the slip occupies. Bottom-left is the documentary default and the one corner a platform's own furniture never takes.

    now: bottom-left

  • Inset
    inset · number

    Distance from both frame edges as a fraction of the shorter side. The default clears a 16:9 title-safe area and sits above YouTube's own progress bar.

    now: 0.1

  • Ground
    ground · boolean

    Paint the frame behind the slip. Off by default — this is an overlay, and off means it renders with an alpha channel and drops straight onto your own footage.

    now: true

  • Scale
    scale · number

    Size of the slip itself. The corner margin does not scale with it — that belongs to the frame, not the object.

    now: 1

  • Brand
    brand · string

    Brand token id — one of the keys of BRANDS.

    now: field

Prompt

A place-and-time stamp for a documentary — the kind that names where you are in the lower left of the shot. Make it a caption slip on warm printed stock rather than a floating label: the place set large in the warm serif, a rule drawing under it left to right, and the date uncovered behind the rule's leading edge in small wide-tracked caps. It has to sit over my own footage, so no ground unless I ask for one, and it has to stay readable when the shot cuts from a bright sky to a dark room.
