One of the biggest Motion Design trends of this year is Fast Typography. A great example of which is Apple’s “Don’t Blink” video that dropped in late 2016, following their ‘Big Launch’ event announcing the iPhone 7, AirPods and updates to the Apple Watch, among other things.

The look and feel fit Apple’s sleek, minimal style, but also managed to cram a lot of information into two minutes in an engaging, digestible way.

Check out the top fast typography templates for 2019 in this video:

Trend Origins

The functionality behind this type of animation and design draws on the learnings of Evelyn Wood, an American educator and businessperson who popularized the term “speed reading”, as well as building the systems that encouraged it.

More and more today, however, software platforms have been offering different approaches to speed reading. You can find quite a few of these platforms and apps, with Spritz and Spreeder being some of the most popular. They usually apply a variation of a method called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP). The basic concept is to display your text word by word, or by in small groups of words, one after the other. This way you can speed up the reading process by increasing the average rate of words-per-minute displayed on the screen.

Practical Advantages

In an era where we’re constantly overwhelmed by the amount of information being thrown at us, the popularity of templates that help deliver messages in fast, visually engaging ways has risen.

Video has thus experienced aggressive growth as an ideal medium to deliver this type of content. Which is why it’s no surprise that the world’s appetite for fast typography templates has grown.

And so today we’ll be taking a look at 12 terrific fast typography templates you can use to display information in your next video.

Stomp – Typographic Intro by Mnemonick

Recommended by shape_aep

If you literally want to recreate Apple’s “Don’t Blink”, then you need Stomp by Mnemonick.

This template makes your words the star of the show and shows you what’s possible using simple typography, and adding a lot of character.

Rhythmic Typography by blinque

Similar to Stomp, in that it’s also clearly inspired by Apple’s “Don’t Blink” commercial, Rhythmic Typography shows what’s possible with some simple black and white typography, and some clever animation.

The way the text can slide from side to side becoming different words each time is genius. Even the way words can light up and fade out, almost like an elevator, shows off the power of indicating concepts rather than showing them.

Rhythmic Opener by levmotion

Recommended by BLAQMATRIX

Rhythmic Opener by Levmotion is fresh and eye catching. The little jolt of movement it adds really makes you look at the words on the screen. And that type of effect is also very in vogue right now.

The template also applies a sort of magnifying tile effect on top of the background image, as the project shakes. Pop a great audio track underneath and marry the jolts up with the accents of the beat, and you’ll see how easy it is to make an engaging video out of nothing more than typography and some still images.

Urban Opener // Dynamic Open by makcinema

Recommended by shape_aep

If you liked that last template, but aren’t trying to literally shake your audience into paying attention, then consider the smooth stylings of Urban Opener // Dynamic Opener by makcinema.

This template incorporates a similar square ripple effect to the last one, but it’s a bit more subtle. In a similar vein, the animation of the typography is more on the smooth side, easing into place a little slower.

Pair it with a chilled out urban beat, and you’ll get your money’s worth.

Dynamic Stomp Typography Open by Vdeesign

Recommended by RedOctopus

Simple and clever, this template plays with size and scale. It’s all about energy with each image drawing the eye by appearing, growing bigger or smaller, and then being replaced by another image in quick succession.

The words appear one by one. Some sit in the middle of the screen, some take up the whole screen. It’s all about variation, keeping you engaged by keeping you on your toes. You can never be too sure where to look.

Fast Typographic Promo by Yourfriend

Recommended by romlam

This next template is very fresh, yet very accessible and I think it achieves this by being very colorful and playful in its animation. Although it’s definitely fast with a real drive to it, it’s not aggressive. In fact, there’s an element of softness to the way things animate. From the less jolty way each word lands on screen, to the way each individual letter eases into position, even the way the images drop down with a soft, blurred effect before touching the base of the frame.

It’s fresh, stylish and fun.

Quick Promo by Qwadro

Recommended by romlam

This template by Qwadro is all about showing you a lot without making it feel that way.

Full of wipes and slides with ease, what really amplifies the smoothness of this template by romlam is that the background moves in sync, but in contrary motion to the text. The effect? It feels like a bigger movement than it is, and draws the eye without anything huge actually going on.

Don’t Wink – Typographic Intro by MbrEffects

Recommended by MbrEffects

Who likes gradients? Don’t Wink – Typographic Intro by MbrEffects puts fresh white text up against beautiful, bright gradients. Sometimes they’re solid, sometimes they’re not. You can have your text in a box, or out of a box. The choice is yours. The animations are simple but pleasant. And this template overall is versatile enough that you can use it for pretty much any video.

Extremely stylish and slick, Fashion Promo by Fixit is a great choice for (would you believe it) a fashion brand. It feels modern and is best suited that kind of broad, one word at a time style of commercial. It’s fast and slick, but not alienating.

Recommended by rgba_design

Use the whole canvas I say!

This template makes use of the full width and height of your screen, creating what feels like a fully responsive template. It could just be the images they’ve used in the demo reel, but its has a very slick, sophisticated feel to it. The glassy effect that goes over the images mid-cube transition are one example.

It’s a template that works best when being used to deliver a very concise message. It’s fast paced, restrained and very chic.

This one’s great if you want a visually exciting template. The images and footage you add to this template really play a big part in creating the vibe this demo is selling. But the shapes made in and around the text are also just as effective.

It’s fast, playful and exciting.

It’s something I could see a brand like Uber or Microsoft using. Or see on the TV screens at Apple’s Genius Bar and not blink. #dontblink

The post What Is Fast Typography? Plus, 12 Terrific Templates That’ll Take Your Video to the Next Level appeared first on Envato.

With the continuing rise in popularity of video online, and on social media, we explore some of the best after effects templates to help you deliver a better user experience and create the perfect video.

Quite often on the Envato Blog, we discuss the importance of video to online marketing. As proven by stats and data, video outperforms other methods in user engagement and efficient message delivery. Today almost all Social Media platforms have focused their resources towards some form of video or animation. This includes standard newsfeed videos, stories, live streams, GIFs, and so on. These social media video formats and specs are detailed in our Video Marketing Guide. The trend doesn’t seem to show any signs of stopping, at least not anytime soon. With the addition of VR, AR, and 360 degree videos, companies are looking for innovation both in technology and distribution.

In such a competitive landscape, the importance of the designs that house the content in these videos has never been more important. The goal is to convey the message quickly without feeling intrusive to the end user. This is something that a lot of social media platforms know very well. Twitter, for example, as well as many other websites, includes an option in its settings videos automatically playing in your timeline. Even on other platforms, where videos do autoplay, almost every one of them will be muted. It’s not difficult to understand why this happens, and that these types of “in-your-face” intrusive videos rarely generate any interest.

Yet, brands are still desperate to get their message across. So, how do they do that without frustrating customers?

Rise of the Titles

In this state “Box Titles” have come to play an important role in video production. Particularly simple designs featuring text over solid shapes that cover the areas occupied by titles. These designs vary in shape, size, and color. They can go from simple subtitle form, to big blocks of text covering half, or more of the screen. The latter option is much more popular, and practical because it better serves this design purpose. It’s a convention that allow videos that are easy to notice, and understand on any type of platform, or screen size, with or without sound. This design style also makes video more engaging in cases where words are more interesting, and more important than images.

You will find this type of Title Design everywhere online: on social media, web-news outlets, YouTube, and more. They’re even making their way into other more traditional platforms like Broadcast TV. Title animation, and design complexity can also vary a lot from one usage to another. Depending on the message being delivered, these titles can be used as lower-thirds, subtitles, annotations, comments, or even kinetic typography. They can also serve as a simple intro, with an eye catching phrase that you can use in your thumbnail. In other cases they can be the only thing in the video, delivering a bold and powerful message in a simple, minimal format.

Box Titles on VideoHive

On VideoHive, you will find a great selection of Social Media, and Box Titles. These templates have been designed to help you deliver the best possible results in the least amount of time.

The post 14 Best After Effects Templates to Make Your Videos Pop on Social Media appeared first on Envato.

The Digital Stock Market is a fairly new and evolving business. However in the past few years it has seen substantial growth. This has been reflected in the many growing stock libraries, a larger customer base and a rise in popularity across the industry of stock items. These markets are often the first choice of many creatives who see stock items as a tool, rather than a ready-to-go solution.

Consequently, this popularity has brought a lot of competition, which is a good thing, especially for customers. It means more options, better quality, improved support and generally better value for any item.

On the other hand, for authors, the creatives that make our items, and marketplaces it’s becoming difficult to stand out. Today the digital stock market is more demanding and challenging than ever before. So how do authors on VideoHive manage to keep the marketplace competitive in a category as overcrowded as After Effects Templates?

The answer isn’t exactly straightforward with a lot of different factors contributing to online success.

For Envato and VideoHive the strongest point revolves around the business model. It’s a model that is proving to be particularly effective for collaborative environments. It gives authors the right amount of creative freedom. Encouraging them to take chances, and break boundaries. Something that is difficult in more traditional business environments where a lot of the everyday challenges don’t directly relate to design, get in the way of the creative process.

That’s why, besides every other carefully curated template, VideoHive also features some exceptional items whose value goes way beyond their price tag. These unique items help VideoHive stand out from the crowd.

Creating such templates requires experience, creativity and most importantly, time. They start, like every other design project, with research, inspiration, execution and at the end publishing. In the middle of all that, there are also tasks specific to template creation. Including market research, documentation, file preparation, and additional marketing once the project is online.

To give you an idea of the work and value behind templates on VideoHive, here is a rundown of the steps required to create an AE Template Pack: HUD – UI Graphics for Film, TV and Games

Research

This stage involves market research and seeking inspiration. In my case, it took more than a week to complete the research and collect all relevant materials. The process included analyzing a wide range of inspirational sources. Starting with old movies, going to the most recent sci-fi blockbusters, all featuring different types of FUI graphics. Research on functional (real-life) user interfaces was performed as well, including an examination of UIs that can be found in today’s computer systems. Wikipedia turned out to be very helpful during this part of the process, for both reference images and insights on UI functionalities. The information and data is then used to put together a few inspirational boards that help with the following stages. After everything is collected the project gets broken down into smaller steps. For this item those smaller steps were the 25 categories / After Effects projects included with the template.

Concepts

After getting an idea of the required elements, creating concepts is the next important stage of the design process. They are the first step to bringing designs to life. In this particular case over 100 concepts were created, however not all of them made it to the final project.

Image: Concept UI Designs ©framestore on VideoHive

Preparing Assets

Quite often some elements of a template come from outside After Effects. To complete the UI designs a number of particular objects had to be modeled, animated, and rendered in 3D. They create the 2GB library of over 150 pre-rendered assets that come with this project. The previous research process helped select the most commonly used objects in futuristic UI designs. Also a few blueprints were collected to help model everything from scratch.

Image: UI Assets ©framestore on VideoHive

Designing in After Effects

With a big part of the elements ready, the design and animation process on After Effects begins. Usually designers use another application like Illustrator or Photoshop to help create and set up most UI elements. Then they import those files back into After Effects. This process is faster but doesn’t allow for much flexibility when it comes to customization. That’s usually a priority for templates and it’s the reason why every design in this template was created using AE Shapes. They are fully customizable and scalable, all within After Effects. Which is an added bonus, because no other application is required for customization. This method also creates a future-proof template that can be adapted to match any upcoming standards in resolution.

Image: UI Screen Designs ©framestore on VideoHive

This is the longest part of the entire template creation process. It involves designing hundreds of UI elements – including maps, grids, buttons, tables, graphs, code, text, etc. – as well as over 800 unique small icons that are used throughout the project. As a final step every user interface is put together and animated. The 25 included categories feature over 1000 different elements and 200 UI Screens.

Challenges

Creating something new and different, especially on this scale brings a lot of challenges. The most demanding tasks for this pack proved to be file preparation and template structure. With such a large number of elements, and thousands of layers and comps, organizing everything can become very time consuming. That’s why a few scripts were created to assist with some of the more challenging tasks. They helped mainly to manage color controls, expressions, to bake color values, and apply effects for specific layer groups. By the end of the project the script that created color controls had to process over 25,000 color effects. Doing that manually would have required months of additional work.

The animation process presented a few challenges as well. To keep everything easily customizable, whenever possible animations were looped using expressions. In this way composition (UI Screen) durations can be expanded without worrying about adding key-frames. Achieving this effect proved to be very challenging with some of the 3D pre-rendered models, most of which feature looped animations as well.

Project Value

Apart from everything described above, there’s actually a lot more work that goes into creating a similar template. From the user interface list, to fonts, color palettes, textures, 2D and 3D maps, code research, expressions, iconography, typeface design, template structure, comp and layer naming, color coding, comments, tutorials, trailers, and much more.

From a direct value perspective, all 200 UI Screens rendered out as Motion Graphic videos would amount to a total of around $5,000 (for single-use licenses). Hiring a freelancer to create something similar for the same amount of working hours, would cost a minimum of $15,000. That’s why this template price has such a tremendous value, even if using only a single UI design.

Below you can watch the full preview of the item, which is one of the biggest HUD and User Interface Template Packages on the web. Featuring a wide range of UI Screens and Window Designs suitable for screen replacements and heads up displays. Categories include: Maps, Schematics, Blueprint, Medical, Tracking, Hacking, Holograms, Analysis, Operating Systems, HUDs and more.

The post The Best Value After Effects Templates and What Makes Them Work appeared first on Envato.

It’s no secret that video is becoming the primary medium for web marketing. You can look at statistics or open any of your social media feeds and you’ll witness its strong growing presence. For companies, this hasn’t come much as a choice but rather a necessity. With competition increasing, reaching your customer base and engaging them with your content is proving to be an increasingly difficult task. That’s why video continues to grow. It’s seen, today, as the most effective marketing approach. A fast delivery medium that promises to keep customers interested without wasting too much of their time. Helping get the message across in the easiest, most engaging way possible.

The most recent data shows that on average businesses produce up to 18 videos each month. Creating everything in-house would necessitate budgets that aren’t usually available for these types of projects. Not only that, but the quick turnaround times make it a logistical nightmare, not to mention quite expensive.

This is where stock footage and stock motion graphics can help. They’re cost effective and offer great quality with a lot of variation.

The Power Behind Stock Items

Right now, the demand for stock footage is rising in pretty much every market. VideoHive now features a library of over 370,000 royalty free stock items that start as low as $1. With almost a hundred new stock footage videos approved every day, it’s one of the fastest growing libraries on the web.

But stock footage isn’t just growing in sales. Technological advancements have made it possible for cinematographers to keep producing better content faster than ever. Providing more variety and originality, in order to satisfy the growing interest of the video production and marketing industries.

This growing interest can be seen on other platforms too. We have a lot of great stock footage examples, all created by our global community of creatives. Their items have been featured in music videos, late night TV shows, scripted series, commercials, and movies, just to name a few.

From a production perspective, finding stock items that perfectly match your needs can feel like striking gold. The value and ease of use of such items can be very helpful. They can be a serious competitive advantage for any producer. Unlocking the value of stock items doesn’t always mean finding something perfect or ready to use for your project. Instead, it’s mostly about how you integrate it into your workflow, customize, and adapt it to fit with your brand. Any creative who is able to achieve this goal will be sure to thrive in what is an increasingly competitive market, where quality and quick delivery are crucial to success.

If you haven’t yet considered using stock footage as a means to help you deliver better results, below you’ll find some amazing examples of where Envato items have been featured, courtesy of the Famous 5. They have all been created by our community of talented VideoHive authors.
