use remotion best practices. this is our youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@remotion_dev. use curl scrape youtube to find the avatar and the subscriber count. multiple subscriber counts appear on the page, find the right one. make a white lower third that slides in from the bottom center. show the name, subscriber count and avatar. display a typical fixed width black youtube subscribe button that changes from "Subscribe" to "Subscribed". use a ease-out animation and for pressing in the button and a spring animation with a slight bounce once the button is released. fade out the lower third. render it as a transparent prores video.
Make it yours. Swap the channel URL for yours, and change "white lower third", "black youtube subscribe button", and "Subscribe" / "Subscribed" for your own colors and button text. Keep "render it as a transparent prores video." so it layers over footage.

- Type
- A YouTube-like sans-serif: the channel name in bold, the subscriber count in small grey, and white button labels.
