After Effects templates have a variety of uses, from turn key solutions when there is a budget or tight deadline, to foundations for something more custom. Templates can be as simple as a set of lower thirds to a full fledged graphics package.

Motion Array offers a range of creative assets from stock music, video, and motion graphics, to Premiere Pro templates and After Effects templates.

Here’s a collection of 15 After Effects templates that you really need to check out for yourself.

1. 10 Glitches

You can never have enough transitions as a video creator, and glitch style graphics are still really big right now. This template comes complete with 10 unique glitch style transitions for edgy videos and animations.

Think TV static, RGD separation, and broken picture lock to get an idea of what’s in store here.

2. Call Out Titles

Sometimes you need a lower third that isn’t a lower third. In other words, you need a nice clean graphic to call out something on screen. This is the perfect template for just that. There are 4 versions of titles and 16 different combinations possible.

Load in your text, place it on your screen, and you are all set.

3. Text Kit

Text is boring. But it really doesn’t have to be. Well designed and animated text is actually really cool. And Text Kit is an all around solid template for creating text animations. It’s incredibly simple and clean, with a variety of animation options to choose from.

Users can mix and match various animation styles to create new combinations and, of course, change fonts, sizes, and colors to their heart’s content.

4. Photo Flips Logo

In terms of logo reveals, this is a really good one. It reveals the logo after a series of images flip by like an old photo flipbook. Not only is this a really cool effect, but the template comes with 4 variations to choose from.

It’s the perfect way to get to a logo with some complimentary imagery added into the mix. Add up to 20 images or narrow down the to the best few. Whatever works for you. We won’t judge.

5. Tip Top Type

Type animations are key for tons of video projects, which is why Tip Top Type is another must have. This template is loaded with 8 different text animations. These animations are top notch and built around colorful boxed backgrounds.

You can just change the type and render, or alter fonts, colors, and the like until you have the perfect combination for you.

6. Video Rig

Video Rig is a fully loaded graphics package. Along with the 8 text animations that are fully customizable, there are also 2 transitions, a logo bug and a logo reveal. This is the whole enchilada.

It’s clean and straightforward with lots of customization options. You’ll definitely come back to this one over and over again.

7. Type Doodle

While many of the above templates focus on clean type design, Type Doodle aims to add a little more whimsy. It works best with hand drawn fonts and is accompanied by all sorts of doodle animations.

The 15 text placeholders are packed with frantic energy, making it good for promos and product hyping. Plus, it’s super easy to change out colors to make it fit your project better.

8. Intro Grid

Something about a grid intro reminds me of a heist movie. And there is nothing better than a heist movie. But even if you aren’t making a heist movie, a grid intro may be just what you need for a project.

This After Effects template is a perfect grid intro. It features lots of great camera movement and a wide range of image placeholders of various sizes. And, it’s 4K to boot. Don’t steal it, but get it.

9. Elegant Website Display

Here’s an AE template with a very specific use. It’s a great option for displaying a website motion graphics style. Have a project based around showing off a website? Then this is the one you need.

There are 5 layouts for webpages, plus a load of other elements like 23 descriptive text boxes, and a logo placeholder at the end.

10. Video Wall Intro

Wanna show off your awesome power? You need a video wall. A video wall says “I’m here in your face you can’t avoid me.” But seriously, a video wall is a great way to display a lot of information quickly.

That’s why you need this After Effects template. The wall is already built and all you have to do is load it up with awesome content. That part is on you.

11. Comp Screens

There are a ton of Photoshop mockup images out there on the web. And they come in handy. But what about mockup video? This, my friends, is a little harder to come by.

Luckily, here’s a great template for making mockup or comped videos. It features 4 different settings for mobile and laptop comps, so you can use it for all kinds of projects.

12. Dynamic Titles Intro

Cool. That’s really the best way to describe this one. It has it all, dynamic moves, 3D titles and transitions, lots of image and video placeholders, and wait for it….geometry!

There are lots of reasons to grab this template, even if just to learn the tricks used for the 3D. But it will also come in handy for an event or high energy promo every day of the week.

13. Dynamic Slideshow

You know if you are a creative that a slideshow is in your future. Sure, you want to do something other than a slideshow, but the client wants a slideshow, or the budget says “slideshow.”

That’s the bad news, but here’s the good news, you can make your slideshow a lot more awesome with a template like this one. This slideshow rocks. It’s loaded with energy, great text setups and 58 media placeholders. It’s everything you need to create a slideshow that doesn’t suck.

14. Text Flipper

Here’s another AE template worth grabbing just to learn how it was done. It features expertly designed text tiles that look and feel real as they flip down to reveal messages…your messages.

And all you have to do is type in your text and render. Or you can get down and dirty and learn something new in the process.

15. Call Out Titles Kit

Call Out Titles Kit is the ultimate in call out goodness. Not only does it feature great call outs like the template above, it also has full customization built right in. There are 15 pre-made titles and 20 animated elements and a full set of controls change the colors, position, roundness and size.

If you get one template for text call outs, make it this one. But then again, get a bunch of them. You can never have enough.
