What does a motion graphics video cost?
Professional motion graphics typically cost $1,500-$10,000+ per minute depending on complexity. At Media First, fixed project pricing runs $1,990 for a 30-second video up to $3,990 for 120 seconds, with unlimited-request subscriptions from $2,950/month, and a free 48-hour sample before you commit.
What moves the price
Four drivers: length, animation complexity (2D explainer vs character animation vs 3D), asset creation (illustration from scratch costs more than animating brand assets), and revision rounds. Voiceover, extra aspect ratios, and cutdown packages price as add-ons, at Media First $390, $90, and from $59 per clip respectively.
Fixed price vs subscription
Fixed pricing fits one-off launches: you know the total before work starts. Subscriptions fit teams with continuous needs, product updates, ads, social motion, where a monthly rate ($2,950 Basic, $4,950 Premium) replaces per-project quoting. The break-even is roughly 1.5 videos per month: beyond that, subscribe.
