Designing an Animated Promo Video (Slider)


1. Start with a Video Project

Choose the “Instagram Reel,” “TikTok Video,” or “Promo Video” template.
You can also use Custom Size: 1080x1920 for vertical videos.

2. Set Your Promo Message (Script it First!)

📝 Write a simple message:
Example:
“Need Help With Bookkeeping? FortBee Makes It Easy!”
“Track Expenses. Stay Compliant. Grow Faster.”
“Get Started Today — Visit thefortbee.com”

Keep it short, clear, and action-driven.

3. Design the Slides (Scenes)

Each slide = one key message

Slide 1: Attention grabber
Slide 2: Benefits or offer
Slide 3: Call-to-action (CTA)

Use text + images + brand colors in each

4. Add Animations

  • Select any element (text or icon)
  • Click Animate
  • Apply effects like Pop, Rise, Tumble, or Drift

You can also animate each slide with Page Animations

5. Add Music

Go to Elements > Audio
Choose a track that matches the tone (upbeat, calm, etc.)
Adjust volume to avoid overpowering your text

6. Add Transitions Between Slides

Click between the pages in the timeline
➕ Choose Fade, Slide, or Match & Move for smooth flow

7. Preview & Download

Watch your promo from start to finish
Download as MP4
Ready to post on Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp or TikTok
