Cue · Callout — free, no sign-up

Say the big thing, bigger.

Callout makes the emphasis graphics that land a point — a headline, a stat, a name and title — animated and ready to drop over your video. (Most people call these lower thirds; Callout makes them say more.) Free, in your browser, no watermark.

What it does.

Headline + supporting line

A bold statement up top, the proof underneath — the classic name/title lower-third, or any two-line emphasis card, animated in.

Stat and number callouts

Count-up numbers, percentages, big figures — the cards that stop a scroll and make a stat land.

Sequences from an .srt

Drop in a multi-cue subtitle file and Callout plays each cue as its own card on your timing — a whole lower-third sequence in one render.

Transparent export

Export a transparent (alpha) .webm to lay over your footage in OBS or Resolve — or a clean MP4. No watermark, at no cost.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS

Build it once. Use it twice.

This one works on both surfaces. Make it once — put it on air, or put it in the edit.

ON AIR Put it on the stream Export it with a transparent background and it drops straight over your live feed in OBS. Scene builds the full-frame moments around it. See it → IN THE EDIT Put it in the cut Same graphic, alpha intact — it imports into DaVinci Resolve or Premiere and sits over your footage. No keying. See it →

Questions.

Is the lower-thirds maker free?

Yes — Callout is free and use-first — make and export with no account and no watermark. Signing in (also free) just saves your work and adds you to our newsletter. Make name/title bars, stat cards, and callout sequences and export them at no cost.

What is a lower third?

A lower third is the graphic that appears over the lower portion of the screen to name a speaker or make a point — a name and title, a statistic, or a key line. Callout makes animated lower thirds and emphasis cards in your browser.

Can I make stat or number callouts?

Yes — Callout animates count-up numbers, percentages, and big figures, so a statistic builds on screen instead of just sitting there.

Can I export with a transparent background?

Yes. Callout exports a transparent (alpha) .webm that composites over your video in OBS or DaVinci Resolve, plus a standard MP4.

Is there a watermark?

No. Your lower thirds and callouts are clean — Starting Frame never brands what you make.
