A Popup template with the free Animation Addons Video element and a Button. Start with popup width 960px, a dark Flexbox background and a fade-style preset.

Features
Every point below is a real control in the Popup panel section or part of how it works. Nothing here needs custom code.
Popups are edited like any Elementor 4 page, so they use your Classes, Variables and responsive settings and match the site. It is an Elementor 4 popup, not a legacy one.
Each popup is its own Theme Builder template. Build it once and use it across the site instead of copying a hidden section onto every page.
Pick an entrance from the animation presets instead of building keyframes, and give each popup its own timing in the settings modal inside the editor. That covers Elementor popup animation and Elementor popup delay without custom code.
Forms, video, countdowns, accordions, images and buttons all work inside a popup, including Animation Addons widgets and their extensions. Each popup is an Elementor popup template, so one build serves the whole site.

FAQ
Yes. Animation Addons Pro includes Popup, an Elementor popup builder for Elementor 4. Each popup is a template in the Animation Addons Theme Builder, designed in the Elementor 4 editor with atomic elements, and has its own animation presets and timing. It runs on Elementor Free as well as Elementor Pro.
Yes. Animation Addons Popup does not use Elementor Pro's Popup Builder, so you can make an Elementor popup without Elementor Pro. You need Elementor (Free is enough), the free Animation Addons for Elementor plugin and a licensed Animation Addons Pro. Create the popup as a Theme Builder template and set its timing in the popup settings.
Yes, with a licence for Animation Addons Pro. It is a popup builder for Elementor Free sites: Elementor Pro is not needed, because each popup is a template in the Animation Addons Theme Builder. The free Animation Addons plugin registers the rest, and the Pro licence adds the popup template type.
Build the popup as a template and drop the free Animation Addons Form into it. An Elementor popup form can use admin email, auto-reply, webhook and redirect actions, with stored submissions. That makes Popup a practical way to run sign-up, booking and quote forms without sending visitors to a separate page.
Open the popup's settings modal in the editor, choose an animation preset for the entrance and set its timing. The Elementor popup animation is a preset, so you do not build keyframes, and an Elementor popup delay gives visitors a few seconds to read the page first. Elements inside the popup can use their own extensions too.
Yes. An Elementor discount popup or newsletter popup is a Flexbox card with an Image, Heading, Paragraph and the free Animation Addons Form with an email Input and Submit Button. Start with a card about 760px wide, a gentle animation preset and a timing delay so the visitor reads first.
Yes. A popup template holds any atomic element or Animation Addons widget, so an Elementor video popup can use the free Video element with a Button, and an Elementor countdown popup can use the free Countdown with a reminder form. Accordions, icon lists and images work as well.
They can, if a popup covers the content as soon as a mobile visitor arrives; Google's guidance warns against intrusive interstitials. Use the timing so visitors can read first, keep the close control obvious, and keep the main page content complete without the popup, so search engines and readers get the full page.
Animation Addons Popup needs a licensed Animation Addons Pro, which registers the popup template type, and each popup is a separate template rather than something drawn on the page. You design it on its own canvas, so check the entrance and timing in Preview or on the live site. Legacy v3 popups remain a separate type.
