Motion graphics are animated text and graphics that appear at key moments in your video. In the Auto Edit recipe, OpusClip reads your transcript, finds what’s worth highlighting, like a guest’s name, a big number, or an important date, and adds a matching graphic at the right moment. No more hunting for the right moment, finding an element, and typing in the text by hand. You can also add motion graphics manually from the editor.

Before you start

  • Plans: Available on Trial, Pro, Max, and Business plans.

​
Turn on motion graphics in Auto Edit

  1. Upload your video and choose the Auto Edit recipe.

Edit a motion graphic

Select a graphic in the preview or on the timeline to open Motion graphic settings. You can:
  • Edit the content: Change the text, number, or label.
  • Style it: Change the font, text color, and background color, or apply bold, italic, or underline.
  • Resize and move it: Drag the corners to resize, or drag the graphic to reposition it.
  • Change the timing: Drag the edges of the graphic on the timeline. A shorter graphic animates faster; a longer one animates slower.
  • Hide captions: Turn off captions while the graphic is on screen.

FAQ

Why didn’t OpusClip add a graphic where I expected? OpusClip highlights the moments most likely to keep viewers watching and spaces graphics out to avoid clutter. You can add any graphic yourself from the Motion panel. Does it work with multiple speakers or split-screen layouts? Motion graphics work best with a single speaker. With multiple people on screen or changing layouts, check the placement and adjust it in the editor. Do motion graphics add sound? No. Motion graphics are visual only.
