How to Make an Animated Chart with AI

How to Make an Animated Chart with AI

Updated 4 min read

I used to spend an entire afternoon in Adobe After Effects just to make four bars grow in sequence. Setting anchor points, easing each bar, and typing every value by hand was slow work. You can now generate that same chart with AI motion graphics tools.

How to Make an Animated Chart with Easymotion

With Easymotion, you can skip the timeline entirely. You do not have to grow each bar or type each value by hand. Here is exactly how to generate your chart.

1Open the Studio

First, navigate to Easymotion in your web browser and click the "Start Creating" button. You will be prompted to log in or sign up for a free account. Once logged in, you will enter the main studio interface.

2Enter Your Prompt

You have two options to create your animated graph. You can browse the template library to find a pre-made chart style, or you can describe what you want in the prompt box. For example, type: "Create a dark bar chart titled Quarterly Growth 2026, with bars for Q1 to Q4 that grow to 2.1M, 3.5M, 2.9M, and 4.2M in shades of yellow and orange."

Tip

You do not have to type the numbers. Click the paperclip, choose Add Data (CSV/XLSX), and attach your spreadsheet. Easymotion reads the rows and builds the chart from them.

3Customize Using AI Chat

Once your base animation generates, you can adjust the details using the AI chat panel located on the left side of the screen. Just type commands directly into the chat. For example, type: "Turn it into a line chart titled Asset Growth, Portfolio Value (USD), with a green line and a shaded area over seven periods, from $1,120 down to $710 and up to $1,450." The system updates your video automatically.

4Export Your Animation

When you are happy with the result, click the Export button in the top right corner and select the MP4 format for a standard video file. To overlay this chart onto another video, make the background transparent first: ask the chat for a transparent background, or press the checkerboard button on the background color in Quick Edit. When the preview shows a checkerboard, export in the MOV format and drop the file into Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

Copy-Paste Prompts for Your Animation

Paste one into the prompt box in Easymotion, then change the details to fit your video.

Prompt 2: Light Bar Chart

Create a light bar chart titled Quarterly Growth 2026, with bars for Q1 to Q4 that grow to 2.1M, 3.5M, 2.9M, and 4.2M in shades of blue.

Adobe After Effects vs AI Motion Graphics

An animated chart used to mean anchor points and easing for every bar. Here is how that work compares to Easymotion in 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

Under 60 seconds. You type the title, the labels, and the values into the prompt box, and the bars grow to your numbers.

No, you do not need Adobe After Effects or any design skills. You describe the chart in a prompt, then change the numbers in the AI chat on the left.

Yes. Type your labels and values into the prompt or the chat. The bars and the value labels follow the numbers you give.

Bar charts, line and area charts, donuts, gauges, and leaderboards. The second clip turns the bar chart into a line chart with one chat message.

Use a MOV file with a transparent background. Ask the chat for a transparent background, or set the background color to transparent in Quick Edit, until the preview shows a checkerboard. Then export MOV and place it over your footage in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Use MP4 for a normal video file.
