What is an Animated Overlay for Turnip?
An animated overlay is a graphic layout that appears on top of your gameplay during a live stream. It usually includes things like your name, social buttons, subscriber callouts, and animated elements to make your stream look professional and engaging.
When used with apps like Turnip, these overlays make your live stream stand out from others. Viewers love clean and exciting visuals – and that’s what an animated overlay delivers.

Step-by-Step Guide to Make Your Animated Turnip Overlay
Let’s walk through the process in simple steps:
Step 1: Open Pixellab
Start a new project with a 2560×1440 size. This matches the overlay size Turnip uses.
Step 2: Add Background and Shapes
Use a dark or blurred gaming background. Add clean rectangles or shapes to divide screen areas.
Step 3: Add Text
Write your channel name, IG ID, and subscribe message. Use bold gaming fonts. Example: “SACH TECH” in white with a red glow.
Step 4: Import Social Icons
Use the PNG social buttons from the pack. Place them below your name or on a side banner.
Step 5: Add 3D Character (Green Screen)
In Kinemaster, import your edited layout and layer it with the 3D character green screen video. Use the Chroma Key feature to remove the green background.
Step 6: Animate Elements
Make the social buttons and name text fade in/out, slide, or bounce. Keep animations smooth and not too fast.
Step 7: Export Overlay
Export your final overlay in MP4 format with a transparent background if supported. Otherwise, use the green background for later keying in Turnip.
