Your Client Wants Animated Intros, Lower Thirds, and Branded Transitions. Nobody on Your Team Does After Effects.
White-label motion graphics for agencies. $25/hr. After Effects designers who work under your brand.
Motion graphics make the difference between a video that looks homemade and one that looks professional. Your clients notice. But hiring a full-time motion designer costs $60K+ a year, and most agencies don't have 40 hours a week of animation work to justify it.
SpecialistHQ gives you motion graphics designers on demand. Logo reveals, lower thirds, text animations, transitions, and explainer sequences. They work under your brand, at $25/hr, and scale with your project load.
No long-term contract. Start with 20 hours. Walk away anytime.

Where Agencies Lose on Motion Graphics
The Reality Right Now:
- Your client asked for an animated intro sequence. You quoted it out to a freelancer for $2,000. The client said no.
- Your video editor can cut footage, but lower thirds and text animations take them three times longer than someone who lives in After Effects.
- Every new client needs branded motion templates. Your team builds them from scratch every time because nobody maintains a template library.
- You want to offer explainer videos as a service, but you don't have the animation talent to deliver them profitably.
- Freelance motion designers are expensive, hard to schedule, and deliver on their timeline. Not yours.
What Changes with a Motion Graphics Bench:
- Animated intros, lower thirds, and branded elements are part of the edit. Not a separate line item that gets cut from the budget.
- Your video editor focuses on cutting and pacing. Your motion designer handles the polish that makes the final video look premium.
- Reusable motion templates get built once and used across every client. New projects start faster because the foundation is already there.
- You pitch explainer videos because you have the animation talent at $25/hr. The margin on those projects is real.
- Your motion designer works your hours, on your schedule, inside your workflow. No chasing freelancers.
What Your Motion Graphics Designers Handle
Lower Thirds and Title Cards
Speaker names, topic labels, and title cards that match the brand. Animated in and out with clean timing. Built as reusable templates.
Logo Reveals and Intros
Animated logo sequences for video intros and outros. From simple fades to full kinetic reveals. One build, used on every video.
Text Animation and Kinetic Type
Words that move with purpose. Quote callouts, stat reveals, section headers, and animated lists. Clean motion that guides the viewer.
Branded Transitions
Custom transitions between scenes that feel intentional, not default. Wipes, reveals, and graphic transitions that match the brand's visual style.
Explainer Animations
2D animated sequences for product explainers, onboarding videos, and training content. Icon animation, process flows, and data visualization.
Motion Templates (MOGRTs)
Reusable After Effects templates your team or editors can customize. Change the text, swap the colors, drop in a new logo. Same look, less production time.
