Turn your annual report into a one-minute animated video
Your annual report runs forty pages, and most stakeholders will only skim the contents. A 45 to 60-second annual report video puts the essentials where people will actually see them: three to five animated figures, the year's highlights and the plan for next year. With ManyMotion, you paste your numbers into the chat and the AI builds counters, charts, voice-over, an original soundtrack and sound effects. Correct anything by chatting, then export an MP4.

Why ManyMotion
Numbers people remember
Ticking counters, rising bars, lines that draw themselves: an animated figure sticks far better than a table.
Your data, your brand
Upload your logo, photos and excerpts from your report: the AI works them into your colors and closes on a logo reveal.
A measured voice-over
A natural English or French voice that gives your numbers meaning instead of just reading them out.
Fix one figure, not the whole video
Final audited numbers just came in? Update the scene in one sentence, for 5 credits per edit.
One video, many uses
AGM, investor page, LinkedIn, donor email: adapt it to 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16.
How it works
01
Describe your video
In one or two sentences: your topic, your offer, the tone you want and the format.
02
The AI animates it
Animation, voice-over, original music and sound effects, all in sync, in about a minute.
03
Tweak and export
Ask for changes by chatting, then download an MP4 that is ready to post.
Pick the numbers that tell your story
An annual report video isn't your report read aloud. Its job is to make three to five messages stick. Choose your figures based on what your audience cares about:
- Growth: revenue, customer count, market share, new markets.
- Impact: people served, CO₂ avoided, jobs created, training hours.
- People: new hires, new locations, internal milestones.
- Direction: two or three priorities for the coming year.
A second-by-second structure for a 50-second video
- 0–5 s: the opener. One line that sums up the year: "In 2026, we scaled up."
- 5–30 s: the key figures. One number per scene, as a counter or a chart, each backed by a line of voice-over.
- 30–40 s: the highlight. A photo, a customer or employee quote, a before/after.
- 40–50 s: the outlook and logo. Next year's priorities, then your logo reveal.
See it in action in our annual report video template: 47 seconds in which a single bottle from an organic cosmetics brand carries its revenue, new markets and commitments. Finding one object from your brand that can carry your numbers makes the video far more memorable than a string of charts.
Match each data point to the right scene
| What you want to show | Recommended animated scene |
|---|---|
| One headline figure | Large animated counter |
| A trend over several years | Line chart that draws itself |
| A comparison between business lines | Bar chart |
| A concrete change | Before/after split screen |
| Commitments or priorities | Animated list, one point at a time |
| A customer or employee voice | On-screen quote or testimonial |

Frequently asked questions
How much does an annual report video cost?
+
One credit equals 1 second of video, so a 50-second video uses 50 credits, voice-over, music and effects included. The Starter plan, at $12 per month, includes 200 watermark-free credits. To compare with an agency quote, read our breakdown of motion design video costs.
Can I supply my own figures and script?
+
Yes. Paste your numbers, and your script if you have one, into the chat and say it should be read word for word. The AI builds the counters and charts from your data.
Can the video replace the full report?
+
No, it complements it. The video gets attention and makes the key points stick in a minute; the full document stays the reference for anyone who wants every detail.
Can I include photos from the year?
+
Yes. Upload photos, your logo or screenshots: the AI stages them full screen or in a frame and can zoom in on a detail.
How long should it be?
+
Aim for 45 to 60 seconds for an AGM or your website. For social media, a 20 to 30-second version focused on three figures works better.
