Tips for Making Motion Graphics

To ensure your Powtoon motion graphics video is a success, keep in mind these tips and tricks while you’re creating your video.

01

Tell a story.

Video is a powerful delivery method, but it’s not a substitute for poor planning or organization. Before you create your first motion graphics video, have a clear plan of how you will use the motion graphics to present your information or content. A storyboard is a great planning tool.

02

Customize animation to your audience.

When it comes to engaging your audience with motion graphics, personalization is key. You want to choose characters that your viewers can relate to mentally, physically, emotionally, culturally, and beyond. Customize your own diverse characters to empower your audience and embrace inclusion.

03

Use the right music.

If your videos are fast-paced and fun, don’t use somber music. If your videos are more serious, don’t use energetic and entertaining music. Make sure everything is aligned so your motion graphics have a consistent tone. Upload your own music – or choose from our library stocked with millions of royalty-free soundtracks.
