Data videos: numbers that count up and bars that grow

A number on a slide is forgettable. The same number counting up while a voice says why it matters is a video people share.

Write the numbers into the script as you'd say them, and our AI turns them into graphics: a figure counts up, a run of named numbers becomes a bar chart, a share becomes a progress ring. The gallery's "If the world were 100 people" is 31 seconds of exactly that, narrated over pictures of the people behind each number.

If the world were 100 people

The example, and the script it came from

  • Landscape 16:9
  • 31 s
  • Voice: Insightful Speaker
  • Captions: clean

This is the whole script that went in. Everything else (the narration, the pictures, the graphics and the captions) our AI made from it.

If the world were a village of 100 people, here's who would live there. 59 would come from Asia, 18 from Africa, 9 from Europe, 8 from Latin America, and 5 from North America. 26 would be children under fifteen. About 67 would own a mobile phone, and 64 would be online. And every year, the village would welcome one new neighbor. One village, a hundred people, and a lot in common.
If the world were 100 people

The example: if the world were 100 people

A landscape data story narrated by MiniMax's Insightful Speaker with clean captions. Its numbers: "59 would come from Asia, 18 from Africa, 9 from Europe, 8 from Latin America, and 5 from North America. 26 would be children under fifteen. About 67 would own a mobile phone, and 64 would be online."

Each figure is a graphic, and between them the pictures keep the people in view.

How numbers become graphics

Our AI writes the chart's data from your sentence; open the scene to correct a value and render it again.

One figure: "about 17% water"A count-up stat
Named numbers: "Finland about 12 kilos, Norway 9.9, Iceland 9"A bar chart, one bar per name
A change over timeA line graph
A share of a whole: "67 of 100"A progress ring

The coffee chart

The gallery's coffee video asks "Who drinks the most coffee?" and answers with four countries per person each year: Finland about 12 kilos, Norway 9.9, Iceland 9, Denmark 8.7. Those four values became the chart; the last line, "The coldest, darkest winters brew the strongest habit," is the point the chart makes.

Chart templates

Our bar chart, line graph, count-up, progress ring and comparison take your labels and numbers. The library adds HyperFrames' bar chart race and its US and world maps for numbers by place.

Getting the numbers right

  • Put numbers in digits and units in words: "12 kilos", "90%"
  • Keep a chart to six bars or fewer so every label reads on a phone
  • Say where the figure is from in the script if it matters to your audience
  • Check every value in the scene editor before you render the final video

Questions

Do I need a spreadsheet?

No. Write the numbers in the script as sentences and our AI builds the chart. You can edit the values afterwards.

Which charts are there?

Bar chart, line graph, count-up stat, progress ring and comparison, plus a bar chart race and maps from the HyperFrames library.

Can I change a number after the video is made?

Yes. Open the scene, change the value and render again; only that scene is made again.

Can I add a chart to my own footage?

Yes. In the editor, add a chart template at the playhead, or ask the chat to add one with your numbers.

Which plans include it?

Every paid plan: Pro $20 a month, Studio $50, Max $100.
