Artlist’s video templates provide ready-made, customizable designs for titles, lower thirds, transitions, slideshows, and more. They’ll help speed up your editing workflow by letting you start from a professional base rather than building effects and animations from scratch.
This article explains what video templates are, how they are categorized, how to search and preview them, and how to download them.
What are video templates?
Video templates are pre-designed project files compatible with editing software. They include animations, text placeholders, and effects that can be easily customized with your content.
Templates help:
- Save editing time by providing ready-made structures
- Maintain a consistent style across projects
- Create professional results without advanced design skills
💡 Pro tip: Use Artboards to save templates, music, and SFX in one place for quick access during editing.
