How to make motion graphics in videos from your footage

Use simple title or graphic motion to explain the main point and keep the footage visible.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring source footage, supplied illustrations and exact short text. Pick the takes that make the subject clear, including a strong opening and a complete ending. These choices give Shorty a useful starting point for the edit.

Give Shorty the creative direction

Use simple title or graphic motion to explain the main point and keep the footage visible.

Try a 20-second 9:16 edit as a starting point. Include the exact title or closing message you want on screen. Add a reference when you want to show the pace, captions or mood.

Create a 20-second 9:16 video from my source footage, supplied illustrations and exact short text. Use simple title or graphic motion to explain the main point and keep the footage visible. Use my supplied wording for titles. Provide any complex illustration or animation as an asset and review the first render before delivery.

Make the next version more specific

Provide any complex illustration or animation as an asset and review the first render before delivery.

Play the first cut and pick the change that would help the story most. Name the moment, describe the result you want and tell Shorty what to keep. A note such as “hold the final product shot longer” gives the revision a clear direction.
