What is Responsive Motion Graphics, and What’s in it For Me?
Responsive Motion Design is an innovative fusion of Motion Design, Graphics Design, Video, and Coding to craft dynamic Motion Graphics Templates capable of automatically adapting to user inputs and selections.
Rooted in the principles of Design Systems, it champions consistency and coherence across design, development, and implementation phases. This holistic approach ensures exceptional flexibility, scalability, and brand consistency across diverse frame sizes, frame rates, and use-cases.
Traditional motion graphics templates lack responsive features. Very often layouts are distorted and animations go awry with every updated text input.
By implementing code, Responsive Motion Design intelligently adjusts text and visuals within predefined layouts that adhere to established Brand Guidelines.
Responsive Motion Design – Key Advantages
Its key advantage lies in empowering Video Editors, Producers, and Marketing Executives to execute motion graphics tasks directly within their editing applications. By simply inputting text and selecting layout options or visual elements from provided menus, users can generate polished motion graphics without calling on specialized Motion Graphics artist.
This streamlined process not only saves time but reduces costs and storage space requirements while ensuring Brand Compliance. Another positive outcome from deploying Responsive Motion Design solutions is the ability to embark on Creative Automation tasks. This opens up opportunities to optimize Customer Lifetime Value by leveraging on highly individualized videos that speak to each customer on a personal level.
Who Needs Responsive Design
So who needs Responsive Motion Design? If you’re an agency, a post-production outfit or department or a brand that produces video content consistently then Responsive Motion Design is for you. You’ll be looking at content creation from a systems point of view which will allow you to discern patterns – from ideation, design and development. In short, every content you have ever created contains patterns which are re-used again and again regardless of the client or the project.
Responsive Motion Design will allow you to develop Component Libraries from which to develop Responsive Motion Templates which can then be used to develop fully customizable content at speed and scale and with Creative Automation as an add-on, if required.
Adaptive Features
Productivity can be further increased by adding Adaptive Features which automatically recalculates relevant attributes so assets automatically fit into a new Frame Size. This is great when working on a project that’s destined for more than a single Frame Size.
