Cross-dissolve just doesn’t cut it anymore. To make studio-quality videos, you need polished animations—that’s why we’ve pulled seven essential After Effects template animations for video production. From logo reveals to intro slides, these template categories are the standard-bearers of the industry.

Templates are a great way for filmmakers, marketers, and creatives to quickly and easily create professional projects without needing to build them from scratch, frame by tedious frame. Easily customized with text, photos, and footage, AE templates deliver high production value with little effort.

Working with templates is also a great way to get started on custom projects while learning the ropes of the program. Most animation templates are full of crowd-pleasing special effects that can be mined, duplicated, or customized—diving into templates for these individual effects can be an important step to After Effects mastery.
