An event promo video that fills seats, made in a minute
An event promo video has to make people want to be there and leave no doubt about the essentials: what, when, where and how to book. ManyMotion creates this kind of announcement in a minute: bold, eye-catching typography, a countdown, visuals of your speakers or performers, plus a voice-over and music that match the vibe of your event.

Your event video calendar
One video isn't enough to fill a room. Plan a sequence of posts:
| When | Video | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| 3 to 4 weeks before | Main announcement | Get the date out there |
| 2 weeks before | Program, speakers, performers | Give people reasons to come |
| 1 week before | Reminder with seats left | Drive sign-ups |
| Day before and day of | Countdown, directions and access info | Get registrants to show up |
| After | Thank-yous, highlights | Build buzz for the next edition |
The details that matter in an event promo video
- The event name in the first few seconds, not just at the end.
- The date with the day of the week: "Saturday, December 14" sticks in people's minds.
- The exact location, with the neighborhood or a well-known landmark.
- How to book: one single channel, clearly stated.
For restaurants, businesses and nonprofits
Events aren't just for professional organizers: a theme night at a restaurant, an internal company retreat, an open house, a nonprofit fundraiser. The same method works every time.

Create urgency without overdoing it
Sign-ups often come in at the last minute. To get them earlier, give people a real reason to act: an early bird price until a set date, limited seats, a gift for the first registrants. Show it as an animated number. But avoid fake urgency: your audience will remember it at your next event.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add a countdown?
+
Yes, just ask for "a countdown to December 14" or "in 3 days" and the number animates on screen.
Can I include sponsor logos?
+
Yes, upload the logos: the AI can group them in a dedicated scene, usually at the end of the video.
What format should I use to announce an event?
+
Vertical 9:16 for Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp, square for Facebook and LinkedIn, and horizontal for an on-site screen or YouTube.
Can I create a video to play on screen during the event?
+
Yes, ask for a 16:9 version without voice-over, with music, the program or partner logos, to loop on a screen.
How many credits does a full announcement campaign take?
+
A campaign of five 20-second videos uses about 50 credits, not counting edits. The Starter plan, with its 200 credits, is more than enough.
