10 Best Social Media Video Templates 2019

The world of social media marketing is a hyper-competitive one. With algorithms continually changing, your strategy today will almost certainly need adjusting tomorrow. Over the years, many different content formats have come in and out of vogue. But, a few years into its reign, social media video doesn’t appear to be going out of style. In fact, if anything, its command over people’s attention has only strengthened.

Between vertical video like Instagram Stories, and regular videos in the feed, brands have had to consistently lift their game when it comes to production quality. This is as valid for video, as it is for social images. As they vie for the attention of what is a finite number of users and potential customers, they’re consistently needing to find innovative techniques to cut through the noise of a busy newsfeed, and catch the eyes of their desired audiences through their social media marketing. Although, in the past, this would have likely been a panic attack inducing proposition for most social media managers, today, it’s a much more doable task, thanks to social media video templates.

Created to ease the life of social media content creators everywhere, social media video templates are motion graphics project files that are premade to be easily edited in After Effects or Premiere Pro, and released natively on platforms like Facebook, and Instagram.

They’re usually sold as packs, featuring multiple layouts, several themes, editable logos, fonts, and colors, and organized so that you can effortlessly insert your written, video, and audio content, as needed.

Across the vast array of social media platforms we use today, there are a range of formats these templates are designed for, including Instagram Stories templates, fast typography templates, social media themed lower thirds, and more. Using these premade templates to automate the design of your content can be a major advantage to your social media channels, saving you time, and getting you real results.

Here at Envato, we have a great value subscription service called Envato Elements. It’s your key to our vast library of creative assets including stock music and sound effects, stock footage, web templates, graphic design templates, and, of course, video templates. What follows is our curated list of the 10 best social media video templates of 2019, all are available for download right now with an annual or monthly subscription.

Featuring eye-popping colors, and unique layouts, this vivid pack of templates can work for a number of screen dimensions, including Instagram Stories, ads in the feed, and hero videos on website landing pages. Each template is beautifully designed, and will draw the eye of those scrolling past.

From the same author as the last item, Fast Typography Promo uses some of the same themes in this pack that is made up, exclusively, of fast typography templates. Fast typography is a style of video that places a focus on your copy, utilizing a number of creative techniques – including having singular words fill the screen, or adding animated behaviors that demonstrate their meaning – in order to command the eye, and drive home the video’s message. This style tends to do well on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, making use of their autoplaying features, and are something to seriously consider when trying to cut through on social media.

A close relative of fast typography, stomp videos are another fantastic genre for capturing attention within social media news feeds. Combining fast typography with engaging footage, and glitch effects, this one by vcgmotion creates a sense of ‘blink and you’ll miss it’. The combination makes for a video you can’t take your eyes off of, and would work great as an ad, intro, or product teaser video.
