YouTube Motion Graphic Animation Template

Full–time

Posted on: 7 days ago

We're looking for a motion designer to create a clean, branded animation template we can reuse across our YouTube videos.

The purpose of the animation is to increase viewer retention by visually previewing what will be covered in the video in animation form.
Example

See this animation at 00:52 in this video:
We want something similar in function, not copied directly.

The animation should visually present sections of the video that are coming up, helping viewers understand what they will learn and encouraging them to keep watching.
What the Animation Needs to Do

The animation should display 3–4 upcoming topics from the video.

Example from our upcoming video:

Script line:
First, we'll talk about the 2 big layout decisions most people get wrong
Then I'll show you small kitchen traps I often correct for clients
And I'll finish with 5 affordable ideas you can bring into your small kitchen planning

So the on-screen visual text can say:
  • 2 Layout Decisions
  • Small Kitchen Mistakes
  • 5 Affordable Ideas
  • Key Requirements

    It must be a reusable template our video editor can change on Da Vinci Resolve.

    We need to be able to change the text and illustrations for future videos so the animation can be reused again and again.
    We edit all videos in DaVinci Resolve, so ideally the animation should be delivered as:
  • DaVinci Resolve Fusion template
  • Text layers must be easy for us to edit without redesigning the animation each time.

    Style Direction

    Our channel is about home renovation and interior design, we will issue you with our brand colours and fonts. Brand continuity across our channel is essential.

    Think design-led and editorial, rather than gaming or influencer style graphics.

    Subtle movement and clarity are more important than heavy animation.

    Brand

    We will provide:
  • brand colours
  • fonts
  • logo
  • example videos
  • The animation should feel consistent with our existing visual style.

    Deliverables
  • Editable animation template
  • Final rendered version example
  • Instructions for editing text for future videos
  • Completed by Wednesday / Thursday this week
  • Ideal Experience
    We'd love to work with someone who has experience creating:
  • YouTube motion graphics
  • reusable video templates
  • retention-focused animations
