How do Motion Graphics work?

Drop in the overlays that make short-form video look produced.

Where to find them

1. Sign in and click Projects in the left sidebar.
2. Select your video, pick a clip, and click Edit.
3. In the editor, click Graphics in the left panel.
4. Click Add graphic to browse the library.

What's in the library

Alongside logo reveals and brand elements you'll find the overlays creators use to hold attention:

• Search Bar — types out your topic like a search query
• Countdown Timer — builds urgency before a reveal
• iMessage Notification — a message popping up mid-clip
• Social Handle — your @ name on screen
• Checklist — items ticking off one by one
• Charts — animated bar and line graphs

Scroll the library for the full set.

Every graphic is editable

Click one after adding it to open its settings. The Checklist, for example, lets you type your own items, add or delete rows, set the accent colour with a hex code, and toggle the tick sound. Each graphic has its own controls, and a Remove button if you change your mind.

You're adding to what's already there. Zazu applies motion graphics automatically when it generates clips — zooms, progress bars, lower thirds — so this panel is for putting your own on top.
