Title: Do motion graphics templates sell better than video clips?
Post by: Belisaurius on April 12, 2018, 23:39

Very open-ended question, but title bar doesn't leave much room to elaborate. You would be very surprised how hard it is to find info on this; I would imagine it would be a common question.


For videographers that uploads motion graphics AND video clips (go ahead and throw in chromakey, alpha channel, stills, graphic art and any other media into this equation...).

What is YOUR experience?

Personal opinions welcome, and thanks in advance.

I guess it depends on the content of the clips and templates. There is a lot of competition for the video clips, so provided the same subject and great quality template I bet motion graphic will sell better.

Check out VideoHive...

Best selling stock footage item: 1,404 sales.
Best selling motion graphics item: 3,804 sales.
Best selling After Effects item: 12,639 sales.

...although each site will vary based on the contributor base, the customer base and a few other factors, but that should give you a rough idea of something.

Isn't After Effects the same as motion graphics, or does motion graphics refer to apple motion 5?

Motion graphics refers to rendered clips, with any software.

After Effects means AE projects that the buyer renders, after customization.
