15 Freelancers That Will Bring Life To Your Stream Channel Layout

stream overlays


Technology has truly made the world smaller and streaming is a perfect example of this. Streamers broadcast their work, connect to the world, and share their stories and knowledge. Similar to the rapid technological advancement, the way people are consuming information is also changing. Netizens are impatient and are easily distracted. Therefore, drawing the audience’s attention can become challenging for content creators. It is thus necessary for us to really do our best with the delivery of content to keep consumers hooked.

In addition to engaging streams, the quality of video elements also plays a vital role. Hence, the configuration of layouts and visual elements should be attractive. Sporadic streaming also takes away the interest of viewers. Pace, tone, sound design, capture, style, contrast, exposure, lighting, color, and focal length are some other indispensable elements. These need to be taken care of when streaming as well. It is also necessary for streamers to ensure visual unity to pull off game streaming successfully.

In order to achieve your streaming goals, a reliable and proven freelancing site, Fiverr, comes to your aid. User testimonials alone speak for Fiverr sellers’ reliability. They provide standalone elements needed for streaming, including overlay panels, logo, intro, alerts, emotes, badges, and stinger transitions at reasonable prices. In short, they provide all the graphical elements necessary to make your streaming journey a success.

How to make animation for streamers

Live streaming video platforms have grown exponentially, presently enjoying viewership of more than 100 million every month. Twitch has more than 2 million broadcasters every single month, and this explains the tremendous viewership enjoyed by live streaming services. If you are wish to live stream content, it would certainly require animation. The popularity and use cases of animation have made it virtually indispensable when it comes to videos. The need for custom graphics and animation in overlays, logos and alerts may push you to try and make them yourself. It is true that the number of tools available in the market and the user friendly features of most tools have made it possible for individuals to create the animations themselves.

However, professionals with experience and creative instincts are better placed to create custom animations. This is mainly because of the rapid changes in IT and the dynamic nature of the applications that are used for creating animations. Despite the user friendly features and controls available, professionals possess a higher level of expertise and perspective to create compelling visuals that will fully meet the objectives of live streaming videos. Here is an overview of how animations for streamers can be made with professional assistance.

Top notch animations from creative masterminds

Creativity can not be imparted to individuals, especially in the case of arts. Individuals need to possess creativity by nature and nurture it through one of many means. No amount of training can make an individual creative. At most, the individual will acquire the ability to use applications and tools that are used for creating visuals and animations. The individual will be in a position to effectively use the tools and applications, but will not certainly not be in a position to compete creatively. This makes it necessary to use individuals with natural creativity to render animations and visuals necessary for live streaming videos.

One of the advantages of using experts to perform the task is the access to a combination of talent with resources to perform the task. If you were to take up the task of creating animations for Twitch, you may find it daunting to choose and use the right tools from an extensive list of applications that appear to have same functionalities. You will also have to learn how to use the tools, despite the user friendly nature, as animations involve certain amount of application of tools and rendering.

Use of freelancing sites to hire experts for creating animations

The gig economy has turned into a boon for individuals and agencies looking for a service provider at reasonable costs, with high talent levels. The availability of qualified, competent and creative talent for all services has helped agencies and individuals locate the most suitable professionals for specific requirements. Animated twitch overlays involve the use of Adobe Photoshop and After Effects, and this by itself requires basic editing skills. Overlays involve the use of introductions before every single stream. This needs to be worked out in detail as the intro packs a good punch and builds up expectations among viewers. The need to include a banner in the streaming is important as it will help to attract and hold the attention of viewers. Professionals create streaming content that can be optimized for viewing on devices with screens of all sizes.

The background of the streaming content is equally if not more important as this creates either the contrast or the matching colors to create an eye catching background. Viewers of streaming videos are likely to find it pleasing when the background colors help the streaming videos to stand out. Professionals with resources will be in a position to carry out color correction to ensure that the streaming videos are crystal clear and contrasting from the background. Animated designs are typically thrown in to make the video streaming more interesting and this can be the best channel for greater personalization and customization. You can choose a design or a shape of your choice and use that for adding more design creativity to the video streaming.

How to identify and hire the most suitable and resourceful experts for animation

Twitch overlays offer the advantage of getting alerts on the screen, in a manner that is interactive and seamless. For instance you could include alerts in your video stream about the subscriptions or links or make announcements that appear as overlays on the video. The expert that you use for the task needs to be able to design overlays professionally. The alerts have to be customized and be in sync with the overall design and look of the video stream. Other overlays need to draw inspiration from popular games and TV shows as this will add to the interest of the viewers. The expertise of the freelancer will come into play in meeting these criteria.

The number of effects and transitions that are possible with animation kits and software are extensive and a good expert should possess the expertise and creativity to custom create graphics with the desired effects and transitions. Without effects and transitions animations look jaded in a video stream. The color, the position and the presentation of the logo on the video stream is important to establish brand presence. It is therefore important to pay attention to the creation of the logo. The professional that you choose to create the animations, should have the creativity to blend in the logo with the streamers naturally, yet have the effect of highlighting the logo.

Three dimensional views of text and images are captivating. Choose a designer/expert who creates 3D renditions of text and images with bevels and extrusions. This makes the designs stand out and catchy. The number of tools at the disposal of professionals combined with the creative ability determines the outcome of the animation for streamers. Hence, choose an expert who relies on paid tools that have impressive effects, transitions, and features. Identify a creative professional who can bring the animations to life on your streamers, thereby adding more value.
