Social media animation in three steps

  1. Choose the channel's format

    Pick 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, 1:1 for feeds and ads, or 16:9 for YouTube and LinkedIn video.

  2. Describe the hook

    Write the first line viewers should see and the idea behind it. ASAP Motion generates the animation around it.

  3. Edit and export

    Tighten the copy and timing, match your brand colors, and export an MP4.

Example prompts you can copy

Paste one into the ASAP Motion prompt box, then edit the result in the browser. Change the details to fit your brand.

  • Example prompt

    A 9:16 hook: a bold question on screen for one second, then three quick tips that slide in one at a time.

  • Example prompt

    An animated quote card in a 1:1 square: a large pull quote, an author line, and subtle background motion.

  • Example prompt

    A weekly recap Reel with a countdown title, five bullet beats, and a "Follow for more" end card.

  • Example prompt

    Announce a giveaway with a punchy headline, the rules in three short lines, and a deadline that pulses.

What makes a social animation work

  • Win the first second

    Put the strongest line on screen immediately. Viewers decide to stay or scroll almost at once.

  • Caption everything

    Many people watch without sound. On-screen text should carry the message on its own.

  • Stay inside the safe area

    Keep text away from the edges where platform buttons and captions sit, especially in 9:16.

  • Make it loop

    Short clips that end close to where they begin replay naturally and extend watch time.
