What Are Animation Templates?
Animation Templates are ready-made, motion-based layouts you can apply to any message.
With Animation Templates, you can:
- Use professionally designed animated backgrounds

Why Animated Content Matters
Animated messages capture attention faster and are easier to read from a distance. Motion increases visibility, improves message recall, and makes routine announcements feel more modern and engaging.
Creative Ways to Use Animation Templates
Welcoming Messages
- Soft fades or glowing frames create a warm, inviting look.
- Examples: “Welcome Visitors,” “We’re Glad You’re Here,” “Open House Today.”
Promotional Messages
- Bold animations help drive quick attention.
- Examples: “Fall Sale – This Week Only,” “Holiday Festival,” “Limited-Time Offer.”
Announcements & Alerts
- High-visibility animations ensure important updates stand out.
- Examples: “Safety Drill at 2 PM,” “Community Meeting Tonight,” “Now Hiring.”
Tips for Customizing Templates
Text Size: Use large, high-contrast text for drivers and short, simple phrases for readability.
Animation Speed: Use slower speeds for general info; faster speeds for promotions. Always preview timing.
Colors: Choose high contrast and stick to a simple palette that matches your organization.
Scheduling: Rotate animated slides throughout the day. Prioritize important or time-sensitive messages.
