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.

Ten Stream Lower Thirds.
LIVE, STARTING SOON, Q&A, BE RIGHT BACK and six more, made in Callout. Transparent files for OBS and your editor, plus a plain MP4 of each.

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.
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.
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.
Open Callout free.
Free, in your browser — no sign-up. When you're ready for the production tools — a teleprompter and a live run-of-show — there's a membership for that.
The free tools are free forever. The Starting Frame membership (14-day trial) adds Next (live run-of-show) and the saved-scripts library in Just Read It. The free tools stay free either way.
