BEST AFTER EFFECTS AND MOTION GRAPHICS TEMPLATE SITES — 2024



By Nicole LaJeunesse

Professional motion graphics can add polish and panache to your video work, but
video editors aren’t usually also motion graphic artists. The skillset needed to
create a complete graphics package takes time to learn. And in the
deadline-driven world of video production, that’s often time you don’t have.
What’s the solution? Motion graphics templates that you can customize to your
needs in programs like After Effects or Apple Motion.

Read on to discover the best options when it comes to stock motion graphics. At
the end of the article, we’ll point out some key considerations to keep in mind
as you shop.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Editors’ Choice award recognizes exceptional video production equipment,
software and services. These products must help videographers be more effective
storytellers while being affordable, easy to use and dependable. The products
must also deliver a superior user experience.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER

As you shop for the right After Effects or any other kind of motion graphics
template, you’ll want to first consider the function of the graphic element in
your project as a whole. This will point you in the right direction in terms of
style and included elements.


GRAPHIC ELEMENT VS. CUSTOMIZABLE TEMPLATE

Browsing through your motion graphics library of choice, you’ll likely encounter
a few different kinds of stock assets and templates. Often, you’ll find
individual pre-made elements — for example, a computer-generated coyote ready to
composite into your scene or an animated floral pattern that you can layer under
your text.

Most useful, however, are the motion graphic template packages that allow for
full customization. With these, you can change the timing, content, fonts and
colors to your liking. A customizable template can serve as an excellent
starting point while still allowing you to create a unique look for your
production.

All of this is to say: Pay attention to what can and can’t be altered within
your chosen template. If you want maximum control over all stylistic elements,
look for a fully customizable template that will give you more flexibility.


TYPES OF TEMPLATES

From opening titles to lower-thirds to closing credits, there are templates
available for almost any use case. Make a list of all the graphic elements that
your production will require and use this to guide your search.

If you only need a lower-third to introduce your interviewee, your search will
likely be quick and easy. If you need a full set of matching graphics, look for
a graphics package or a set of graphics templates designed to work together.
This will help your project feel more cohesive overall.


QUALITY AND PROJECT ORGANIZATION

Templates are supposed to help you work faster, but a poorly organized project
template will only slow you down. When choosing a motion graphics template, go
for the most professional-looking option you can find. Not only will the end
results look better; it’s likely the project will have a structure that’s easier
to understand and modify. The more logical the project organization, the easier
it will be to work with that project.


COMPATIBILITY

Another obvious and important factor in deciding which template to use is
compatibility with your motion graphics or editing software of choice. You won’t
be able to make much use of an After Effects template if you only have access to
Apple Motion. Double-check compatibility, including software version and
hardware support, before buying any stock template.


IDENTIFY SOURCES THAT WORK FOR YOUR PROJECTS

If you have the opportunity, note down the names behind the motion graphics
templates that you like the most or use most frequently. Likely, the artist uses
the same styles and organizational structures in their other template offerings.
This will make it even easier to work with their projects in the future; you
already know what to expect. It’s worth having a list of go-to motion graphics
artists.


LEARN WHAT YOU CAN

Motion graphic creation is an art in itself. It can take years to fully master
After Effects, and even pros learn new tricks all the time. One of the best ways
to learn is to take a close look at projects built by professional motion
graphics artists. Using motion graphics templates is a great way to get a window
into the world of a motion graphics designer.

Once your deadline is met, reserve some time to explore how the template you
purchased actually works. How are the layers organized? What elements and
effects are used? Make note of any interesting techniques and think about how
they might be useful in your own future projects.


FINAL THOUGHTS

Whether as a time-saver or a learning tool, a well-built motion graphics
template allows you to do more with less. Look for professional, well-organized
projects that give you the flexibility you need to get the look you want. For

stock photos, videos, music and more.
