Animated List Templates — Steps, Checklists, Top 5
Lists are the backbone of tutorials, reviews and top-five videos, and they read much better when each point arrives on its own. Write one item per line and the template takes care of the rhythm: numbered badges, a path that draws itself between steps, glass cards, fanned cards in perspective, a receipt with a total or a notebook with handwritten ticks.
Some layouts frame your clip next to the list or above it, which works especially well in Shorts and Reels. For gaming channels there are patch notes with buffs and nerfs; for kids, falling sticker words and craft steps. Pick a style that matches your channel and export.

Questions
- How many items can a list have?
- As many as you write, one per line. Long lists get smaller type to fit, so for readability on a phone five to seven items per list usually work best.
- Can I put my video inside the template?
- Yes. «Your video beside the list», «Your video on top, text below» and «Card over your video» have a frame for your clip.
- Do I need After Effects?
- No. Every template is edited in your browser: type your text, choose colors and format (16:9, 9:16 or 1:1), watch the live preview and export.
- What do I export, and does it work in my editor?
- Most templates export as a ProRes 4444 .mov with a transparent background, which you place on a track above your clip in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro. You can also export an MP4 with your own clip behind it. Always in Full HD.
- Is it free?
- Editing and previewing are free and need no account. To export you sign in with Google; during the open beta, new accounts get export credits at no cost.
