8 Top Templates for Anime in After Effects

Ink Trailer

Perfect for highlighting characters or stand-out shots in your film, Ink Trailer transforms frames into a watercolor and ink aesthetic that allows you to pace your trailer like a pro. Its organic, artistic feel, combined with its parallax effects, make it an excellent option.

Sky Logo Intro

Begin your anime trailer with your head in the clouds—we all know it’s the most creative place to be! The Sky Logo Intro abstract opener has the feel of colorful, soothing pastel drawings and oil paintings, with marks of texture, lines, and shapes to enhance the heavenly vista.

Epic Story Trailer

Align your anime with the look and feel of legendary narratives of the past. Epic Story Trailer allows you to frame your movie with golden antique scrolls—torn edges, fibrous texture, and all—that scream, “Sit back, relax, and enjoy the saga that’s about to unfold.”

Comics Opener

Give your opener the gravitas of cinematic drama with this intuitively designed template. Comics Opener provides dynamic backdrops that drop into your animation in the shapes of paint splatter and brush strokes so mesmerizing it’s hard to turn away.

Colorful Liquid Slideshow

Combine your anime photos or videos with text and transitions that flow across the screen in the form of raindrops, waves, swishes, bubbles, splashes, and more. Primed for use with any font and designed with a modular structure, Colorful Liquid Slideshow gives you the flexibility you need to tell your unique story.

Cinematic Trailer

This powerful, action-packed template creates fire, blasts of explosions, and wisps of smoke that might be just the epic ferocity your anime trailer needs. Combining the dramatic and the magical, the typeface in Cinematic Trailer has equally bold and impressive animation.

Parallax Freeze Frame Cartoon Trailer V1
