Openers, graphics, lower thirds. it's a lot to consider. Thankfully there are some talented authors over on Envato Elements and Envato Market who've put together whole packages for you. Here are our top picks:
If you'd like to try out a few different packs, then you might prefer to join Envato Elements, where you can download unlimited resources for a monthly subscription. Here are a few great examples of the broadcast packs available on Elements.
Everything you need in one pack: opener, headlines, lower thirds, split screen and much more. A link to the font and music used in the demo is included.
Infographics are essential for broadcasts and it's the thing packs can often leave out. News Infographics Pack is a great mix of visually interesting ways to display data, including the ability to have someone present next to the animation.
With a nifty countdown, attention-grabbing titles, scoreboards and weather forecasts just a few of the options in this pack, it's a one-stop shop. Traditional and striking, it'll be immediately apparent to your audience that they're about to watch a news broadcast.
