# Mographr > Mographr is an AI motion-graphics studio. This site offers free, hand-crafted > animated video tools (lower thirds, titles, intros, callouts) plus a gallery of > hundreds of free animated templates. Each tool renders a customized MP4 in the > browser — free with a small mographr.com watermark; a $1 upgrade with a > transparent background and commercial license is coming soon. Agents can render videos programmatically: - **Start here**: [MCP server documentation](https://www.mographr.com/mcp.md) — setup for Claude, Cursor, VS Code and ChatGPT, the four tools, limits and a worked example. - MCP endpoint: `https://mcp.mographr.com/mcp` (tools: list_motion_tools, get_motion_tool, render_motion_tool, get_motion_render) - REST: `https://bff.mographr.com/tools` (list), `https://bff.mographr.com/tools/` (schema), `POST https://bff.mographr.com/tools//render` - Free renders take ~30–70 seconds on the CPU render lane and are rate-limited per IP: about 8 per hour over MCP, about 3 per 10 minutes over REST. Hitting a limit is not an error — the response says how long to wait and links the interactive page, which is unlimited. - Every tool page documents its inputs in plain HTML: https://www.mographr.com/tools/ ## Free Tools - [Free Lower Thirds Maker](https://www.mographr.com/tools/lower-thirds.md): Free animated lower thirds maker — 19 designs in 16:9 and vertical 9:16, your name, role, avatar and colors.

Type your name and role; add an avatar or button label if the design has one. The preview updates live. 3. Pick a color scheme where available. 4. Hit Download — the free MP4 (with a small mographr.com watermark) renders in about a minute. ## Pricing - **Free**: MP4 download with a small mographr.com watermark in the corner. Personal / preview use. - **$1 upgrade** (coming soon): no watermark, transparent background, commercial license. - **Creator plan** ($20/mo): the full Mographr studio — unlimited customization, any format, alpha exports. ## For AI agents Render programmatically via MCP (`https://mcp.mographr.com/mcp`, tool `render_motion_tool` with `slug: "lower-thirds"`) or REST: `POST https://bff.mographr.com/tools/lower-thirds/render` with `{ "variantId": "...", "fields": { "title": "...", "subtitle": "...", "button": "..." } }`. Get variant ids from `GET https://bff.mographr.com/tools/lower-thirds`. ## FAQ **Is this lower thirds maker really free?** Yes. Rendering and MP4 download are free. The free file carries a small mographr.com watermark in the corner. A $1 upgrade — no watermark, transparent background, commercial license — is coming very soon. **Can I use the videos commercially?** The free watermarked version is intended for personal use and previews. The upcoming $1 version includes a commercial license, and the Mographr Creator plan ($20/mo) covers commercial use with full customization and transparent exports. **Do I get a transparent background (alpha channel)?** The free download is an MP4 with an opaque background. Transparent WebM/ProRes exports are part of the $1 upgrade (coming soon) and the Creator plan. **What resolution and format do I get?** An MP4 (H.264) at the design's own canvas — 1920x1080 for the horizontal designs, 1080x1920 for the vertical ones. The animation includes both the enter and the exit, so you can trim it to your cut. **Do you have vertical lower thirds for Reels, Shorts and TikTok?** Yes — some designs are authored at 1080x1920. Pick one and the whole editor switches to a vertical preview; the rendered MP4 is vertical too. **Can AI assistants use this tool?** Yes — the tool is fully scriptable. AI agents can list designs and render videos through our MCP server or the REST API, and receive the free watermarked MP4 back. See mographr.com/llms.txt for the machine-readable guide, which carries the current endpoint URLs. **How is this different from Canva or template packs?** Each design is generated motion-graphics code, not a locked template: enter/exit choreography, real easing curves, per-design layouts. And if you need something none of the designs cover, the full Mographr studio generates a custom animation from a text prompt. --- # Free Subscribe Button Overlay Maker > Free subscribe button overlay maker — 10 animated YouTube/Twitch subscribe overlays in 16:9 and vertical 9:16.

Values for fields a design lacks are simply ignored. ## How to use it 1. Pick a design — 10 animated subscribe overlays in 16:9 and vertical 9:16, each with its own layout, motion and click reaction. 2. Type your channel name and handle, upload your avatar, and relabel the buttons (Subscribe / Like / Save — or Follow, Join, Share). The preview updates live. 3. Pick a color scheme — keep the classic red or switch to your brand color. 4. Hit Download — the free MP4 (with a small mographr.com watermark) renders in about a minute. ## Pricing - **Free**: MP4 download with a small mographr.com watermark in the corner. Personal / preview use. - **$1 upgrade** (coming soon): no watermark, transparent background, commercial license. - **Creator plan** ($20/mo): the full Mographr studio — unlimited customization, any format, alpha exports. ## For AI agents Render programmatically via MCP (`https://mcp.mographr.com/mcp`, tool `render_motion_tool` with `slug: "subscribe-overlay"`) or REST: `POST https://bff.mographr.com/tools/subscribe-overlay/render` with `{ "variantId": "...", "fields": { "title": "...", "subtitle": "...", "button": "...", "button2": "...", "button3": "..." } }`. Get variant ids from `GET https://bff.mographr.com/tools/subscribe-overlay`. ## FAQ **Is this subscribe overlay maker free?** Yes. Rendering and MP4 download are free; the free file carries a small mographr.com watermark in the corner. A $1 upgrade — no watermark, transparent background, commercial license — is coming very soon. **Can I get it with a transparent background so it sits over my footage?** That is what the $1 upgrade (coming soon) and the Creator plan give you: ProRes 4444 or WebM with a real alpha channel. The free MP4 renders on a solid background, which still works if you place it full-frame or key it out. **Can I change the button labels?** All of them. Most designs carry three actions — Subscribe, Like and Save — and each label is editable, so the same overlay works as Follow / Like / Share for Twitch, or in your own language. Colors are swappable too: keep the classic red or switch to Twitch purple, TikTok neon or your brand color. **Does the animation include the click and the bell?** Yes — the designs animate the whole beat: the card arrives, a cursor presses the button, it flips to its subscribed state, the bell reacts. That behaviour is baked into the design; you customize the text, avatar and colors. **Can I use it commercially?** The free watermarked version is intended for personal use and previews. The upcoming $1 version includes a commercial license, and the Creator plan ($20/mo) covers commercial use with full customization and transparent exports. **Can I use my channel logo as the avatar?** Yes — upload a PNG, JPEG or WebP and it drops into the avatar slot (round-cropped where the design calls for it). Designs that have no avatar spot simply ignore the upload, and designs that do hide the slot cleanly if you upload nothing. **Will my channel logo work as the avatar?** Yes — upload a PNG, JPEG or WebP and it is placed into the avatar slot (round-cropped where the design calls for it). Designs without an avatar simply ignore it, and designs that have one hide the slot cleanly if you upload nothing. **Can an AI assistant make one for me?** Yes. The tool is scriptable: AI agents can list the designs and render a customized MP4 through our MCP server (tool render_motion_tool) or the REST endpoint, and get the file back. See mographr.com/llms.txt, which carries the current endpoint URLs.
