# Pop in a subscribe button the moment you ask

> In Tella, ask the Tella Agent for an animated subscribe button, and Tella Motion builds it from shapes and text as an overlay on your recorded clip. It's timed to your transcript, so it pops in as you say "subscribe," and it's placed clear of your face. You can change its color, label, position or timing.

## How do I add an animated subscribe button that pops up when I ask viewers to subscribe?

In Tella, ask the [Tella Agent](https://www.tella.com/agent) for an animated subscribe button, and [Tella Motion](https://www.tella.com/help/editing/tella-motion) builds it from shapes and text as an overlay on your recorded clip. It's timed to your transcript, so it pops in as you say "subscribe," and it's placed clear of your face. You can change its color, label, position or timing.

## Prompt to start from

```text
Add a subscribe button when I say "subscribe" near the end. Red rounded rectangle, bold white "Subscribe" text, bell shape beside it. Pop it in on the word, switch to a gray "Subscribed" button after half a second, and fade out after four seconds.
```

## More prompts

### YouTube tech reviewer

```text
Each time I ask viewers to subscribe, pop in a compact dark pill button with white text and a thin red outline in the lower right, away from the product. Hold three seconds, then slide it down.
```

### Cooking channel

```text
When I say "hit subscribe," pop in a warm orange button with a heart shape in the top left, clear of the stove. Scale the heart up once with a soft click sound, then fade out after three seconds.
```

## How to do it in Tella

1. Open your video in the Tella editor and the Tella Agent chat (Shift + S).
2. Ask for a subscribe button, or let the agent find your ask in the transcript.
3. Describe colors, label, position, entrance (pop, fade or slide) and how long it stays.
4. Watch the preview, then ask for changes like "smaller" or "hold it longer."

## Good to know

- Available to everyone: through the Tella Agent on a paid plan or the 7-day trial, or through Claude or ChatGPT on any plan.
- The button is a graphic in your video. Viewers can't click it to subscribe.
- Timing to speech needs a transcript, so a Tella Motion clip on its own can't be timed this way.
- "Reset all overlays" in the Overlay timeline's More actions menu removes every overlay from a clip. You can undo it.

## Questions people ask

### Can I reuse the same subscribe button in other videos?

Yes. Within one video, the Tella Agent can copy the button and change its text or timing. In a new video, ask it to rebuild the design, or attach a screenshot of the style to match.

### Can I add a click sound when the button appears?

Yes. In the Tella editor, open [Overlay → Sounds](https://www.tella.com/help/editing/sound-effects), add a click or whoosh, and line it up with the button on the timeline. The Tella Agent can also place it for you.

### Can Claude or ChatGPT build these graphics instead?

Yes. An AI app connected to Tella's [MCP server](https://www.tella.com/mcp) gets the same Tella Motion tools as the Tella Agent. The graphics appear in your Tella editor as it builds them.
