Go and find some SaaS, preferably just one that people know, so it's easier to identify with it. Pick that, and then make sure to get actual assets and images and all of that stuff from the internet. Turn it into these typical, very professionally edited, motion-graphics-styled product launch videos that you see people making on Twitter when they launch new SaaS products (which are showing off the features, the benefits, and all of these things). ### LLM release timeline tracks 2026 models month by month *Data Story · 1:02* - [LLM release timeline tracks 2026 models month by month by nummanali](https://x.com/nummanali/status/2103565570310340931) **Prompt** > Can you make me a video of LLM progression, like models that is from January of this year up until now, and what the trajectory is looking like, the capabilities and models as well?

Make me a 3-minute animated visualization using JavaScript, or you can do it in TypeScript if you want, about Japan's hot weather in 2026. Pull some online data to see why it was hot and how it compares to other years. I really want the animation to be visually appealing. I wanted to use a hand-drawn pencil style with a little bit of tasteful chromatic aberration. And maybe a bit of a pastiche look but it's supposed to look really, really cool. Also, use a JavaScript synthesizer to make a melody for this visualization that goes along with the theme. ### Project intro video with animated score bars for site checks *Data Story · 2:29* - [Project intro video with animated score bars for site checks by haidaulau](https://x.com/haidaulau/status/2103015561076564319) ### Scattered receipts become a treemap of sorted expenses *Data Story · 1:32* - [Scattered receipts become a treemap of sorted expenses by NiteshAjitDubey](https://x.com/NiteshAjitDubey/status/2104063337902543307) ### Crux showreel charts a 'beats chance' bell curve *Data Story · 0:15* - [Crux showreel charts a 'beats chance' bell curve by marouanegazouzi](https://x.com/marouanegazouzi/status/2103608571435131257) **Prompt** > make a dynamic 15-second motion graphics video that shows what an incredible motion designer you are, like it's your showreel for a résumé. go all out. ### A 2,000-follower celebration *Data Story · 0:20* - [A 2,000-follower celebration by tonytonggg](https://x.com/tonytonggg/status/2104424144498754036) ### Data-driven vertical recap of a memecoin's trading stats *Data Story · 0:20* - [Data-driven vertical recap of a memecoin's trading stats by arambarnett](https://x.com/arambarnett/status/2104011150471917838) ### Showreel dashboard breaks down its own frame-rate stats *Data Story · 0:15* - [Showreel dashboard breaks down its own frame-rate stats by dris1153](https://x.com/dris1153/status/2103433398069101043) **Prompt** > make a dynamic 15-second motion graphics video that shows what an incredible motion designer you are, like it's your showreel for a résumé. go all out. ### GitHub star count announcement video *Data Story · 0:12* - [GitHub star count announcement video](https://genmotion.dev/templates/github-star-count-announcement) ### Google search bar *Data Story · 0:04* - Google search bar ### Revenue line chart *Data Story · 0:04* - Revenue line chart ### Isometric tech stack *Data Story · 0:04* - Isometric tech stack ## Pricing Choose a plan to make your own motion graphics with Potto. | | Lite | Pro | Max | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Monthly | $20/month, Billed monthly | $50/month, Billed monthly | $100/month, Billed monthly | | Yearly | $16/month (-20%), Billed annually · $240 → $192/year | $40/month (-20%), Billed annually · $600 → $480/year | $80/month (-20%), Billed annually · $1,200 → $960/year | | Images per month at HD: Nano Banana Pro | 44 images | 111 images | 333 images | | Images per month at HD: Nano Banana | 86 images | 217 images | 652 images | | Videos per month: 30-second product demo | 13 videos | 33 videos | 100 videos | | Videos per month: 60-second explainer | 5 videos | 13 videos | 40 videos | | | 2,000 credits per month | 5,000 credits per month | 15,000 credits per month | | | Up to 86 fast images | Up to 217 fast images | Up to 652 fast images | | | Standard queue | Priority queue | Highest priority queue | | | No added Potto watermark | No added Potto watermark | No added Potto watermark | | | | Batch processing with AI tools | Batch processing with AI tools | | | Not listed in public galleries | Not listed in public galleries | Not listed in public galleries | Videos use credits when you export, and starting one needs a balance that covers its export.

Data storytelling is the practice of presenting data as a narrative, with a clear question, the supporting numbers and a conclusion, so an audience understands and remembers what the data means. It combines data, visuals and a spoken or written explanation. ### What is a data storytelling video? A data storytelling video is a short video that tells one data story: a title screen, a chart built from the figures and a stat that states the answer, usually with a voiceover. It turns a slide or a report finding into something people watch. ### What is the difference between a data story and an animated chart? Both use the same chart and stat screens. An animated chart starts from the chart you need, while a data story starts from the question and the takeaway and uses the chart as evidence. When the chart itself is the goal, use the animated chart maker. ### Where do the numbers come from? The numbers come from your brief: Potto draws the chart from the figures you type and does not look up or invent data. Check every number in the preview against your source before you export. ### Which charts can a data storytelling video use? Potto’s data stories use bar charts to compare values, donut charts to show parts of a whole and large stat screens for a single number. Describe the chart you want and the AI picks the screen that fits. ### How many numbers should a data storytelling video show? Show as few numbers as the point needs: usually one chart with three to seven values and one headline stat. If you have more figures, split them into separate data stories or ask for one more chart screen, rather than crowding a single chart. ### Can I use a data storytelling video in a presentation? Yes. Export the video as an MP4 and insert it into Google Slides, PowerPoint or Keynote, or share it in a chat or an email. Use 16:9 for slides and turn the voiceover off if you will present it yourself. ### How long is a data storytelling video? A data storytelling video from the creator can be 15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 seconds and starts at 45. ### Does a data storytelling video have a voiceover and captions? Yes. A data storytelling video starts with a voiceover and captions, and music picked to match the style; you can turn the voiceover off or change the music. ### What can I export? Data storytelling videos export as MP4 in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. ### How much does a data storytelling video cost? A data storytelling video costs credits only when you export it, at 5 credits per second of video plus a few credits for the voiceover based on its length: about 75 credits for 15 seconds and 225 for 45 seconds before the voiceover. An illustration screen, if you ask the AI to add one, adds 23 credits. Previewing and editing use no credits. To start, your balance must cover the length you choose at 5 credits per second, and new accounts get 100 credits, enough to start a 15-second video.
