Everything we have written about templates, motion and AI video.

After Effects templates are not covered by one license, they are covered by several, and which one applies depends on how the finished video gets used. Videohive's Regular and Extended terms, Envato Elements' subscription model, and Motion Array's flat usage license each work differently, scenario by scenario. The article also separates the template license from the font license and the music license, since those are handled separately and cause most of the real confusion.

The published answers run from two days to a lifetime, and nearly all of the first page numbers come from people selling training. A more useful answer sorts by outcome. Filling in a ready made template is a placeholder swap, not a build. A basic logo reveal runs 20 to 40 hours. Intermediate motion graphics runs 80 to 150 hours. Job ready motion design runs 200 to 400 hours, or six to twelve months part time. This piece also prices the weeks themselves.
