Motion 1
Rise
The whole line rises into place. Calm. Good for a statement or a quote.
An animated LinkedIn post is a short video of your words moving on screen. You can make one from a single line.
Free: your brand in 3 real designs, in 48 hours.
An animated LinkedIn post is a short, silent video where your words appear on screen. Write one clear line, choose how the words appear, and export a video in your brand colours and fonts.
Keep it under ten seconds, one idea, large words. Use the script below for five posts you can make this week.
People scroll fast. Movement makes them stop for a second. One second is enough to read one line.
LinkedIn feeds are full of still images. A short moving post stands out, if the line is good. Animation does not rescue a weak message.
Most animated posts for B2B are simple: text on a brand background, with words appearing one by one. No actors, no voice, no edit suite.
Pick one per post. Do not mix.
Motion 1
The whole line rises into place. Calm. Good for a statement or a quote.
Motion 2
Words appear one at a time. Good for a short story or a punchline.
Motion 3
The line types out like a message. Good for a question or a tip.
These are the three text motions in Motion Posts, a tool inside a Brand OS Portal. For the no-skills version of the story, read motion graphics for social without After Effects.
Free tool
Answer a few short questions. You get your brand score and the top thing to fix. It is free and runs right here.
One line each. Replace the brackets with your own proof.

Motion is where brands go loose. Add rules.
| Rule | Do | Do not |
|---|---|---|
| Length | Under ten seconds | A minute of slow text |
| Words | One idea, ten words or fewer | A paragraph |
| Speed | Slow enough to read twice | Flashing words |
| Look | Brand colours, brand font, logo in one corner | New fonts and effects for fun |
| Sound | Works with no sound | Needs sound to make sense |
| Facts | Facts from the approved list | A number from memory |
Your voice rules apply to moving words too. See brand voice guidelines. For motion in your logo, see logo animation.
How do teams manage reusable motion graphics for social posts? With a locked design and open words.
The reusable part is the design: background, font, logo, timing. The changing part is the line. When the design is locked, a founder, a sales lead or an intern can make a post that looks the same as the last one.
That is what Motion Posts does inside a Brand OS Portal. The team types the line, picks the look, and downloads the video for feed, square or story. See the other posts in this series: text to video posts for business.
Tick before you post. Your ticks stay on this device.

Watch
I made short videos of the tools. Hear me explain them, then scroll through every one at work. Real tools, on a real brand.

Yes. Type one line, choose how the words appear and export a short video. You do not need an editing tool.
Under ten seconds. One idea and ten words or fewer.
No. Most people watch with the sound off, so the post must make sense without it.
Use the shape for where you post: wide or square for the feed, tall for stories. Check the platform help page for current sizes.
Use one locked design for background, font, logo and timing. Let the team change just the line.
