The basics
What is a lock screen notification video?
A lock screen notification video is a clip of a phone's locked screen, a big clock and the date, with notifications piling up underneath. It sets a scene in one shot: the morning of a big day, a missed-call panic, or everything that came in while someone was away.
This page opens on 7:02 on a Monday morning: an alarm, a delivery, a calendar reminder and a message arrive 0.9 seconds apart, each new one on top of the list. The padlock, date and clock rise into place first, then the notifications follow.
The clock is plain text, so it can say anything up to eight characters: 7:02, 11:59 PM, or 3:00 AM for a late-night scene. Clear both the clock and the date and you're left with the list alone.
To put it on your video, see how to add a notification animation in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.

How it works
How to make a lock screen notification video.
Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.
1
Write the notifications
Add up to four, in the order they should arrive. Each has an app name, a time, a title and a message, and a tile with a letter or an emoji in one of eleven colors.
2
Choose the layout
Banner shows one at a time with the earlier ones tucked behind, Stack builds a list, and Lock screen puts a large clock and date above them. Put a banner or a stack at the top or in the middle.
3
Set the timing and the look
Space the notifications 0.5 to 3 seconds apart and keep the last one on screen for 1 to 6 seconds. Then pick dark or light cards and one of six looks, or a green background to key out.
4
Download the MP4
Press Download. The video is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device, usually in a few seconds. No account, no watermark.

When a notification animation isn’t enough
The free notification animation is the starting point.
The free maker draws generic notifications on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you want, like “as I say my phone blew up, have three sponsor emails slide in beside me, then a payment notice for $4,000 on the word paid”, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the exact word you say. Attach a screenshot or your logo for it to match, and change anything by asking in the chat.
