Using Animoto to create videos for your business? Regardless of what type of video you're making, you want your content to look good and be on brand.
Animoto offers dozens of storyboards. You can customize product videos, customer testimonials, about us videos, and more. But you may not realize you can also change the style of our storyboards to fit your business.
Like colors and fonts, the style of your video can be personalized. Each style has its own special transitions, text animations, and effects. If you haven't tried out our style tool before, you may not be sure which style to choose. To make things easier, we've put together a list of styles we think work well for businesses.
Take a look at a few of our favorites, then try them out in your own videos. To begin, click the "Style" tool in the Animoto toolbar, and swap out your video's current style for an all-new look.

If you want to design your video from the ground up, click the START FROM SCRATCH button in the upper-right-hand corner of the storyboard selector page. You'll be taken to our style selector.

Pick out colors and font, add photos and video clips, and type in text to customize your video. If you want to change your style later, click the "Style" icon on your toolbar. Then click the gray CHANGE button to see a list of all the styles Animoto offers.
STYLE CHANGE TIP: After you switch your style, you may notice changes to font sizes or colors. Certain styles, like Bold or Clean Cut feature text backgrounds that can change some of your design settings. You can quickly adjust these settings from the “Design” icon on your toolbar to get the look you want.
