Motion Graphics Designers

Motion graphics designers sit at the intersection of design and animation — a skillset with enormous demand in the template marketplace. After Effects templates, Premiere Pro presets, and motion design assets are consistently among the highest-earning digital products on creative platforms.

The primary marketplaces for motion designers include: VideoHive (Envato's motion template marketplace), MotionElements (strong global presence), Pond5 (video and motion assets), and Artgrid/Artlist (subscription model). After Effects remains the dominant software for motion templates, but Premiere Pro MOGRTs are the fastest-growing segment.

Motion designers on Reddit's r/motiongraphics report that templates solving common production needs sell far better than showcase pieces. Corporate presentation openers, social media animation packages, lower third title packs, and transition kits address needs that video editors face daily. Make them easy to customise and you'll build a loyal buyer base.

Frequently Asked Questions

What motion graphics products sell best?
Top sellers include: After Effects templates (logo reveals, title sequences, presentation openers), Premiere Pro MOGRTs (lower thirds, titles, transitions), social media animation packs, corporate and business video templates, wedding and event title packages, and YouTube intro/outro templates.
How much can motion designers earn from templates?
Templates on VideoHive sell for $10-$50+, with top items generating $20,000-$100,000+ in lifetime sales. MotionElements offers competitive rates. A focused catalogue of 30-50 quality templates can generate $1,000-$5,000+ monthly. Popular templates continue selling for years.
Should I create After Effects or Premiere Pro templates?
After Effects has the larger established market, but Premiere Pro MOGRTs are the fastest-growing segment because more video editors use Premiere. Creating both versions of your best templates maximises your audience. DaVinci Resolve templates are an emerging opportunity with less competition.
How do I make templates that sell well?
Focus on ease of customisation: clear layer naming, editable text placeholders, one-click colour changes, modular structure. Include a help file or tutorial video. Create compelling preview videos. Templates that a non-motion-designer can customise in 15 minutes get the best reviews and sales.
