What is a TikTok gift animation?

A short transparent video that plays over your camera on TikTok LIVE when a particular gift is sent. Because the background is keyed out, it appears to happen in your room rather than in a box on screen.

Can the animation be of me?

Yes. You add one selfie and describe the moment, and the clip is built around your face, hair and clothing. That is the difference between an animation of you and a stock pack anybody can buy.

Can I use the clip somewhere other than the overlay?

Yes. Every animation downloads in three forms: a transparent .webm for OBS and TikTok LIVE Studio, a transparent HEVC .mp4 for iPhone and Safari, and a flat green-screen .mp4 for phone editing. They are yours to keep and work in TikFinity, StreamElements, CapCut or any overlay tool.

What does a gift animation cost?

A new account starts with 24 credits, which is three six-second animations with no watermark, plus one free four-second watermarked clip. After that a six-second clip is 8 credits, eight seconds is 9 and ten seconds is 10. Credits never expire and a failed generation refunds automatically.

TikTok gift animation — starring you

Most gift animations are stock packs: the same cartoon rose everyone else bought. This makes a transparent clip of you from one selfie, wired to the gift of your choice, so when someone sends a Rose it is you catching it — over your camera, on your live.

How it works

Describe the moment. One sentence. "A red rose flies in from the side; I catch it one-handed, smell it and tuck it behind my ear."
Add a selfie. One clear, well-lit photo of your face. This is the part that makes it you.
Generate. About two minutes later you have a transparent clip, background keyed out.
Wire it to a gift. A Rose, a Lion, or any gift over a coin value you pick.

What you get back

Every animation downloads in three forms, because one file cannot cover every place you would use it:

File	Where it works
.webm (transparent)	Your overlay, OBS, TikTok LIVE Studio, TikFinity, StreamElements
.mp4 (HEVC with alpha)	iPhone and Safari, where .webm transparency is not supported
.green.mp4 (flat green screen)	Phone editing — TikTok's Green Screen effect, CapCut

They are yours to keep and use anywhere, on any platform. Nothing locks them to this site.

If you go live from a phone you cannot run an overlay — no phone live can. The green-screen .mp4 is the honest answer for you: save it to your camera roll and use it in TikTok's Green Screen effect or drop it into your next edit.

Writing a description that works

The generator is literal. Short, physical and specific beats clever every time.

DoName one action and one reaction. "Confetti bursts, I throw both arms up and laugh."

DoSay where things come from. "From the left", "behind me", "overhead".

Don'tWrite a scene with three beats. Pick the one that reads in four seconds.

Don'tPaste your email, a link or a username. That is not a description — the box will tell you so.

What it costs

A new account starts with 24 credits — three six-second animations with no watermark — plus one free four-second watermarked clip. After that: 8 credits for six seconds, 9 for eight, 10 for ten. Credits never expire, and a failed generation refunds automatically.

Questions

Do I need an overlay to use these? No. The clip is a file you own. It works in TikFinity, StreamElements, OBS, CapCut — anywhere that takes a video. The LiveFlyer overlay is just the quickest way to get it triggered by a gift.

How many can I make? As many as you have credits for. Different gifts can each have their own.

Can a gift do something besides play a clip? Yes — a gift can press a key in your game or switch on a light in your room. Gift triggers →
