AI motion graphics: briefing a 15-second brand video

AI motion graphics: briefing a 15-second brand video

AI motion graphics need a scene plan as well as a duration and a message. A newsletter promotion case published by Mobiinside shows how exact copy, brand assets and specific revision requests shaped a short video through successive drafts.

How did this motion graphics workflow work?

In the reported example, the AI wrote code that described scenes, generated frames from that code and assembled them into a video file. Mobiinside published the walkthrough on October 30, 2026. The project promoted the Sosoletter newsletter through a 15-second vertical video with animated text and graphics.

The initial request supplied the product, format, duration and central message. It produced a sequence, but also introduced colors and copy that the author had not specified. A more detailed request fixed the wording and palette, yet the result still resembled a set of text slides because the visual action had not been described. These are observations from the reported project, rather than a guarantee of how any model will perform on another brief.

What changes when more scenes are added?

More content requires a fresh timing decision. In the case, adding cards with actual newsletter headlines while keeping the same total duration left too little time for some cards. The lesson is to change the runtime or explicitly rebalance the existing scenes when the amount of information changes.

  1. Open with a question that the intended customer already has.
  2. Specify the approved copy and the graphic action that supports each message.
  3. Supply actual brand assets, including the logo and examples of the content being promoted.
  4. Revisit timing whenever a scene or information card is added.
  5. Limit a final revision to named changes and identify the elements that should remain intact.

The author also supplied a reference video to communicate pacing, transitions and text movement. The request distinguished those stylistic qualities from the reference's words, graphics and music, which were not to be copied. A reference is therefore most useful when the brief explains precisely which characteristics it is meant to communicate.

Takeaways for marketers

Our reading of this case is that review criteria matter as much as the initial prompt. Approved wording does not by itself settle visual balance, reading time or the position of a call to action. A marketer still needs to watch the result and translate an observation, such as an unreadable card, into a concrete change request.

A practical approach is to prepare a scene sheet with the audience, message, time allocation, movement and available assets before production. At review, check spelling, overlaps, clipped text and areas that may be covered by platform interface elements. Keep those checks separate from creative preferences so that a small revision has a clear end point.

This workflow suggestion follows from the published example; the article does not establish an improvement in conversion or viewing performance. Teams should evaluate the finished asset against their own campaign objective and quality requirements. Learn about brand content planning through our Services.
