Collection Promos
A 25fps toolkit has been provided. For optimal response and render speed we recommend After Effects CC 2022, please see the Toolkit Features page for an outline of features.
Anatomy of a discovery+ Sport On-Air Collection Promo
The modular system of promo assets are designed to distribute messaging throughout the promo, rather than having it all appear at the end as on a traditional linear endboard. The anatomy of all other promos can be found here: Single Event Promos and Tune-In Promos.

Intros
2 Seconds. Can be made longer/shorter as required.
Sport and Standard Intros
Sport Intros are available full frame or alpha for over footage. Full-frame Intros cut on/off with the edit. When using the alpha versions over footage, avoid multiple cuts; it should appear over just one shot and cut off with the proceeding edit. Do not add any additional information or graphic around the logo.
Standard Intros are also available for non-sport titles or multi-show promos that include a mixture of sport and non-sport titles:
Outros
6 seconds including 13-frame transition. Can be made longer or shorter (minimum 3 seconds) as required.
Sport Outros feature essential service information such as the genre train, CTA and/or price offer. Outros can appear on their own, or proceeding a Title Card (see next section). The duration of Outros can be extended as needed to allow for legal requirements for the duration of T&Cs; alternatively a Terms & Conditions Super (see below) can be used over the body of the promo.

Outros are designed to hold key call-to-action (CTA) messaging only. CTAs can appear over 1 or 2 stages, depending on the amount of information. No-CTA Outros have also been provided. To make extended CTA information easier to read, “secondary” words should be set in small caps by entering them in lowercase in the Essential GFX panel.
Each region sets their own URL in the Essential GFX panel, and can decide to turn it on or off. The URL should be turned off if the formatting of the Terms and Conditions causes the URL to be too close or overlap other elements.
Each region sets their own legal terms in the Essential GFX panel, and must follow their regional broadcast guidelines for correct scale and duration.
Title Card with Outro
Content Wall
When there is a requirement to feature more than 5 show titles or a collection, use the Content Wall option.
This features 9 shows and also uses existing 16:9 Key Art. Please ensure the title art has been set within the Safe Area Guide.
Insert Collection Title Card > Outro
Text Cards
Designing bespoke text cards, tailored to the look and feel of the content, is highly encouraged. When that is not possible, generic Text Card styles (Pop-On and Underline) are available full-frame and with alpha.
All styles can be easily extended using protected regions or cut into/out-of to reduce, though the default duration is recommended for Underline Wipe Off to maintain the fluid motion of the spectrum bar.
Terms and conditions can be added in the Essential GFX panel. Each region sets their own legal terms and must follow their regional broadcast guidelines for correct scale and duration.
Bugs
On-Air – Upper left corner (recommended)
Bugs should appear over footage; not at the same time as Full Frame Text Cards. Please cut or animate-off before the final shot proceeding the Outro or Title Card.
Bug
On-air, left-aligned bugs are recommended for consistency with the Bug with Title. Right-aligned options have also been provided for regional requirements; each team or region should decide which position works best for their needs and use that version consistently. The animating option is preferred but a static option, that should be cut on/off with the edit, has been provided when there isn’t enough time for the animation.
Bug with Title and Live Cartridge
The primary option with the wordmark is preferred, but a secondary icon-only option without the wordmark is provided to use if there is not enough time for the full animation. This asset may be cut into/out-of at any point during the animation to reduce the duration even further.
Co-Brand Bug with Title
Co-Brand Bug with Title features a two stage animation.
