🎬 General Tips for Using AI Motion Graphic Tools


Understand the Tool’s Capabilities

Text-to-video, image-to-video, motion tracking, animation presets, and generative effects.

Plan Before Generating

Sketch a storyboard or script to avoid random, disconnected results.

Start Simple

Use templates or AI presets before trying complex custom designs.

Use Prompts Wisely

Be descriptive about colors, mood, camera angle, and style.

Layer and Refine

Don’t rely on a single AI output—combine, edit, and polish in tools like After Effects, Premiere, or DaVinci Resolve.

Keep It Short

AI-generated motion graphics work best in short bursts (5–30 sec).

📝 Credits & Attribution

  • Check Licensing

    • Some AI tools require crediting the platform (e.g., Runway, Pika, Kaiber).

  • Personal vs. Commercial Use

    • Free plans often limit you to personal/non-commercial use.

  • Add Credits When Required

    • Example: “Motion graphics generated using [Tool Name]” in your video description.

  • Royalty-Free Assets

    • If adding stock music, images, or templates, always check licensing.



Master a few styles first, then explore the rest when you’re ready👍
