Motion Graphics

Motion graphics templates are in massive demand as video content dominates digital marketing. Businesses, agencies, and content creators need professional motion graphics — title sequences, lower thirds, logo reveals, transitions, social media animations — but most lack the After Effects or motion design skills to create them from scratch.

Platforms like Envato (VideoHive), MotionElements, and Pond5 are the primary marketplaces. Envato's VideoHive is the market leader with millions of monthly buyers. MotionElements has grown rapidly, particularly in the Asian market. Pond5 offers strong visibility across a global buyer base.

On Reddit's r/AfterEffects and r/motiongraphics, experienced sellers report that After Effects templates and Premiere Pro presets are the highest-demand items. Corporate presentation templates, social media animation packs, and wedding/event title packages consistently top sales charts. The key differentiator is making templates easy for non-experts to customise — clear layer naming, text placeholders, and colour controls.

Pricing in the motion graphics market is healthy: templates typically sell for $10-$50, with comprehensive animation packs reaching $100+. A catalogue of 30-50 quality templates can generate $1,000-$5,000+ monthly in passive income. The long tail is real — well-made templates continue selling for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of motion graphics templates sell best?
Top sellers include: logo reveal animations, lower third title templates, social media story and post animations, corporate presentation templates, wedding and event title packages, transition and effects packs, infographic animations, and YouTube intro/outro templates. Templates for Premiere Pro (via MOGRTs) are a growing category.
How much can you earn selling motion graphics templates?
Individual templates typically sell for $10-$50 on platforms like VideoHive and MotionElements. Comprehensive packs can reach $100+. Top sellers with catalogues of 50-100+ templates report $2,000-$10,000+ monthly. A well-made template can continue earning for 3-5+ years.
Do I need After Effects to sell motion graphics?
After Effects is the industry standard for motion templates, and AE templates command the largest market. However, Premiere Pro MOGRTs (Motion Graphics Templates) are a rapidly growing segment that's more accessible to buyers. DaVinci Resolve templates are an emerging market. Apple Motion templates also have a dedicated audience.
How do I make my templates easy for buyers to customise?
Use clear, descriptive layer naming. Create text placeholder layers that are easy to find and edit. Include colour control layers. Add a help file or video tutorial. Use expressions for automated sizing and timing. The easier your template is for a non-expert to use, the better your reviews and sales will be.
What resolution and frame rate should templates use?
Create at 4K (3840x2160) as the base — buyers can always scale down. Include both 30fps and 24fps compositions where applicable. Ensure templates render reasonably fast on mid-range hardware. Preview videos demonstrating all variations help buyers understand what they're purchasing.
