Super
The world’s most customizable creator animations. Build stunning, on-screen graphics for your livestream or video content — all in a few clicks.
What is Super?
Super is a first-of-its-kind tool for streamers and video editors. It allows anyone to create professional overlay animations — no matter your channel size or budget.
All you need is a few minutes to customize a design. First select an animation template, then personalize its appearance. Once ready, download and save your file to your PC. Finally, import your file to OBS or video editing software.
Super is easy to use, lightning-fast, and ultra affordable. Best of all, you can customize nearly every aspect of your super’s appearance. Adjust colors, text and images — then preview your changes right before your eyes.
Create your supers
Supers come in many forms—including text, images, and animations. As this tool grows, you’ll unlock new templates to customize.
To get started, log in or create a VBI account. Then load up on Credits and start creating!

How it works
- 1
Log in
If you haven’t already, create a Visuals by Impulse account. While you can preview supers without one, you’ll need a VBI account to submit a super for processing.
- 2
Pick a template
When you’re ready, select a template to get started. Browse the available super categories — hover over a template to preview its animation.
- 3
Stock up on Credits
If you haven’t already, purchase some Credits. You’ll need these to submit most supers for processing. A single Credit costs between $2-5, depending on which bundle you purchase.
- 4
Edit your design
Start customizing! Personalize text, media and settings to make your super one-of-a-kind. As you change information, your super will update before your eyes! To start over, click the Reset button.
- 5
Save your changes
Need to step away? At any time you can click the Save Changes button and return to your super later. To see all active projects, click the Your Library tab.
- 6
Submit your super
Once you’re ready, click the appropriate button. Add to Cart allows you to work on additional templates, while Buy Now immediately burns one credit to process your super.
- 7
Wait a few minutes
Your super will need time to fully process. Wait times vary depending on queue length and design complexity. Generally, most supers should render within a few minutes. To track your progress, visit the Queue tab.
- 8
Download your file
When your super is ready, it will appear in the Downloads section of the Queue tab. Click it, save your video file locally, then drag it into your streaming or editing software.
- 9
Collect more animations
Make more supers! We add new categories and templates often, so check back to see all the latest animations. All processed supers are saved in the Your Library tab for easy future adjustments.
How do Credits work?
Credits are tokens used to generate a Super animation. A single credit costs $5, but you’ll find better deals if you purchase a bundle:
- 10 Credits cost $35, or $3.50 each (a 30% discount)
- 25 Credits cost $50, or $2.00 each (a 60% discount)
Credits can also be used on Super’s sister tool, the Transition Maker. This allows you to custom-create stingers using your logo and brand colors.
Frequently asked questions

Processing time varies based on a number of factors. These include queue length (how many users are ahead of you), super type (Premium supers generally process faster than free ones) and design complexity (the more advanced the template, the more rendering power will be needed). Many supers will render in under a minute, while others can take between 2-5 minutes to finish.
Supers can be processed and downloaded in either MOV or WEBM format. Generally, we’d recommend WEBMs for streaming software and MOVs for video editing.
You can select your preferred file format before submitting a super for processing. Choose correctly, otherwise you’ll have to resubmit your super in the right format—which will cost an additional Credit.
Supers work on all major streaming software, including OBS Studio, Streamlabs, StreamElements, XSplit and more.
Supers work in most—if not all—NLE editing applications, including Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve. We suggest using MOV format for your video projects, whether you’re a creator or filmmaker.
Yes. If you are a Mac-user, we suggest processing your super as a MOV format.
Supers work just like animated stream overlays. Within your OBS software, locate the “Sources” tab. Click the “+” button to add a new source, then select “Media Source” and open your super file. Alternatively, you can drag and drop your video file into OBS Studio or Streamlabs OBS. Once your super appears on-screen, you can adjust its size and placement to fit your needs!
Yes, you can submit a super for processing from your mobile device. However, we recommend downloading your file to desktop before adding it to OBS or a video editing software.
Forever! Your supers—including saved templates and processed supers—will never be removed, unless your VBI account is deactivated.
Yes, feel free to customize and preview super animations as much as you’d like. However, note that you’ll need to be logged in to save changes to a super template.
Forever! Credits don’t have an expiration date and are tied to your VBI account. You never have to worry about them disappearing, unless your VBI account is deactivated.
Once a Credit is spent on a super, it is final. We do not offer refunds on processed supers. However, you can experiment, tweak and preview supers as much as you’d like. That way you can be 100% confident with your design before submitting it for processing. If you have questions before submitting a super, our support team is happy to assist.
No, all our sound effects are mixed in-house and free to use. You’ll never have to worry about your audio content getting flagged.
No, supers don’t require a license—as long as you are logged into the tool from a legitimate Visuals by Impulse account. Supers may not be redistributed in any way, whether sold or given away for free. Feel free to use supers on all your content, whether it be live or produced.
