If you’ve ever created your own motion graphic openers from scratch, you know the time and energy that goes into getting them just right.
That’s why many creatives turn to templates like the Apple Motion Opener Templates available at VideoHive. In this article, I highlight 12 of the best of these templates to give you an idea of what they do.
All of our featured templates are easy to use and come with either video or text instructions to help you customise them quickly and easily. Most are modular, which means that you can create shortened clips from the longer whole.
1. Clean Slide
The Clean Slide template is the ideal opener for videos dealing with topics like travel, lifestyle, fashion, food and products. The 20-second opener features 29 image and/or video placeholders, six places for adding text and one for a logo.
Setting it up is as easy as dragging and dropping a logo, images and video in place, typing your replacement text and pressing render. In case you get stuck for any reason, a full video tutorial is included.
2. FCP Promo
FCP Promo is a cool, modern, 30-second opener which is versatile enough to be used for corporate, travel, documentary, fashion and any number of other video projects.

3. Red Conference
The Red Conference template is ideal for creatives looking for an Apple Motion opener that is fast-paced and dynamic, with a bit of edge, for their music, fine art, documentary, travel or promo video projects.

7. Newspaper Line
Newspaper Line is the perfect opener for projects that deal with news and information. The template takes its style from the front-page layout of a typical newspaper, with bold headline, sub-heading, and body text.
