All Strathclyde video content must be consistent in look and feel. It must also be branded consistently with Strathclyde brand assets.
Topping your video
Your video must be topped only with the Strathclyde logo. Please do not add slides, graphics, or anything else. The logo should enter the screen on your video at 1s and leave at 4s.

Formatting your font
For names and headings, use Alegreya Sans Bold.

It should be:
- name size: 50 - 70px
