Graphics

Graphics integration · 3 node(s).

00Overview

Build animated overlay graphics for video right inside a flow — an animated text title, a lower-third name-and-role bar, or a number that counts from one value to another — with no external design tool. Each renders on a transparent background as a looping animation you can drop straight onto footage with the video overlay action, and you control the font, colour, size, timing and canvas dimensions. Because the fonts and renderer are built in, the result looks identical on every run.

Every field below is exactly what you see in the Flomation editor. Fields marked ● live picker let you choose from a list pulled live from your account — no IDs to look up.

01Connecting Graphics

1. No credentials are required. The Graphics node renders entirely inside Flomation using built-in fonts and video tooling — there is nothing to connect and no API key to manage, so you can drop the node straight into a flow.
2. Choose the look with the node's own fields: a Font (Poppins Bold, SemiBold or Regular), a Colour given as a hex value such as #00aa9c or a named colour like flomation-teal, a Font size, and a Width and Height that match the video you intend to overlay.
3. Take the node's transparent video output — a looping animation with a see-through background — and feed it into the video overlay action to composite it over your footage; the editor also previews it inline.

04Notes & Limitations

Behaviours and constraints worth knowing before you build with these nodes.

• Colour fields accept a hex value such as #rrggbb or #rgb, or one of the named colours white, black, flomation-purple and flomation-teal, and any value it cannot parse falls back to white.
• Text is drawn on a single centred line and is never wrapped, so a long title can run past the edges of the frame unless you widen the Width or reduce the Font size.
• The Animated Lower-Third renders its subtitle in the Accent colour rather than the Text colour, and its layout — a left accent stripe and a bar spanning roughly the left 60% of the width — is fixed.
• Titles and lower-thirds animate in and then back out over about half a second at each end, so set a Duration of at least one second for the graphic to hold at full visibility before it exits.
• The output is a transparent, looping animation intended to be composited over footage with the video overlay action, not a finished clip with its own background.
• Each render is capped at 300 seconds, so a very large canvas combined with a high Frames per second and a long Duration can exceed the limit and fail.
