Name: Sam Rao
Role: Product designer
Handle: @samstudio
Placement: left
Export: transparent PNG

A concise role is easier to read during a short introduction. The exported artwork uses a full 1920 × 1080 canvas so placement can be preserved, while the preview zooms into the lower safe-frame area.

Create and export

Enter a name, role and optional handle. Choose a layout, palette and left, centre or right placement.

Adjust panel opacity and inspect the zoomed safe-frame preview. Keep words short enough to fit and check contrast against the actual video in your editor.

Download transparent PNG or SVG and place it over your video in a compatible editor. The PDF uses a white page; the tool creates a static overlay, not an animated video.

Methods and limits

Static transparent PNG/SVG overlays for import into a video editor. Transparency is retained in these formats. PDF uses a white page. No animation or video compositing is performed here.
