Charts and motion graphics

Animated charts and text cards, made from your own script.

When a line gives a number, AI Director can show it as an animated chart that builds while you say it. When a line makes a point worth seeing, it becomes a bold text card. They are drawn on your computer, with no key and no extra cost.

Charts that only show what you say

Most AI video tools fill a "statistics" scene with a stock clip of a laptop. Vid Optimus draws the actual chart: bars grow, lines draw and counters tick up while the numbers are spoken.

Every value is checked against the words it plays over. If your narration does not say a figure, it is dropped, never made up. That makes the charts safe for finance, history and explainer channels where a wrong number costs trust.

Charts

12 chart kinds, picked to fit the line

AI Director picks the chart that suits what the narration says: a ranking for a top five, a counter for one big number, versus for two figures side by side, a bar race for a change over time.

Text cards

16 motion-graphic text card designs

Big, animated text for a key stat, a quote, a date or a chapter title. Cards are sized to the frame with balanced lines. Pick a design and a background colour, or let the Director choose.

  • Statement, Stat, Quote, Date
  • Two-tone, Boxed, Framed, Underline title
  • List, Rank, Flow, Number label, Icon title
  • Rise, Slide and Drop
Timing

On screen while the numbers are said

A chart appears on its figure, not a word before, and stays until its last figure has been said. Charts and maps hold for at least 3 seconds and text cards for at least 2, so they have time to animate and be read; after the animation they push in slowly until the cut.

Timing
  • A timeline stays up until its last year
  • A card that only repeats the chart beside it is left out
  • Right-to-left scripts mirror the layout
Editable

Change a label, a value or the chart type

Open any chart on the Visuals screen to change its title, labels, values or kind, then redraw it in one click. Text cards take their design and colour from the same editor.

How it works

Animated charts and text cards, step by step

  1. 1 Switch it on

    Turn on Charts and Motion graphics in AI Director, in Settings or the new-project wizard.

  2. 2 Let the Director plan

    It only uses a chart where a line gives figures, and a card where a line makes a point.

  3. 3 Edit if you like

    Change values, labels, chart kind or card design, and redraw.

  4. 4 Export

    Graphics are drawn and encoded on your computer, in 9:16 or 16:9.

FAQ

Animated charts and text cards: common questions

Straight answers about how it works and what it costs.

Can the charts show numbers my script does not say?

No. Every chart value is checked against the narration it plays over, and a figure the script does not contain is dropped.

Which chart types are there?

Twelve: Bars, Ranking, Line, Donut, Counter, Progress ring, Versus, Pictogram, Size comparison, Split bar, Bar race and Stat tiles.

Do charts and text cards need an API key?

No. They are drawn on your computer, so there is no key and no per-graphic cost. AI Director decides where they go as part of its normal shot planning.

Can I edit a chart after it is made?

Yes. Change the title, labels, values or chart kind on the Visuals screen, then redraw the shot.

What about maps?

Maps have their own page: 12 map types in five styles, from routes with a plane or ship to globes and campaign arrows. See /maps.

Do they work in Urdu or Arabic?

Yes. Text cards mirror their placement, alignment, lists and wipes for right-to-left scripts.

More of what's in every plan

AI Director

Most script-to-video tools give each scene one picture. AI Director edits the way a person would: it decides how many shots a scene needs, where each one comes from, how long it stays on screen and the exact word it lands on. Your script is never rewritten.

Colour looks

Pictures from different sources rarely match: an AI image here, a stock clip there. Pick a colour look and every photo and clip gets the same grade, with film grain, a vignette and cinema bars if you want them, so the video reads as one piece of film.

Right-to-left scripts

Many video tools scramble right-to-left captions: words in the wrong order, highlights on the wrong word. Vid Optimus lays out Urdu, Arabic, Hebrew and Persian captions and text cards the way they read, worked out from your own script.
