Free review animation maker

The basics

What is a review animation?

A review animation is a short clip of a star rating filling in, usually with a line from the review under it. Editors use it as an opener, as a cutaway between clips, or as the moment in an ad where a customer's verdict appears.

This page opens on the Minimal layout, which sizes the stars to the review: a short line sits under five large stars, a long review under a smaller row. The stars fill 0.15 seconds apart, each one swelling a little past full size and throwing out a few sparks as it lands.

Keep the line short, and take it word for word from a real review, with the customer's permission. Turn on “Show the rating as a number” to add 4.5 or 5.0 beside the stars, counting up as each one lands.

How it works

How to make a review animation.

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Paste the review

    Paste what your customer wrote, up to 240 characters, exactly as they wrote it and with their permission. Set the rating from 0 to 5 stars, in halves.

  2. 2

    Add the reviewer

    Type their name and their role or company. The avatar shows their initials, or turn it off. Leave either field empty and the layout closes up around it.

  3. 3

    Choose the design

    Card or Minimal, words appearing one by one or a line at a time, quote marks on or off, and a star color. Then one of six looks and a typeface.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The video is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device, usually in a few seconds. No account, no watermark.

Testimonial video

A customer review on a card: the stars filling one after another, the words rising in, and the reviewer's name beside an initials avatar.

When a testimonial video isn’t enough

The free testimonial video is the starting point.

Here you get one review, animated cleanly on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you want in plain English, “show this customer's review beside me as I read it, with our logo, and fill the stars as I say five stars”, and it's designed from scratch on your own video and timed to the exact word you say. Attach your logo or a screenshot of the review and it matches them.

Questions

Review animation: your questions, answered.

How do I make a star rating animation?

This page opens on one: five stars filling on black with a short line under them. Set the rating, type the line from the review, and press Download for a 1080p MP4.

Can I show 4.5 stars?

Yes. Rating goes from 0 to 5 in half steps. A half star fills its left half and leaves the rest of it empty.

Can I make just the stars, with no text?

Yes. Clear the Review, Name and “Role or company” fields and only the stars are left, large and centered in the frame.

Can I change the color of the stars?

Yes. Star color under Design sets the stars and their sparks. They're gold until you change it, whatever look you choose.

Is the testimonial video maker free?

Yes. It's free to use and free to download, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the video. There's no limit on how many you make.

What format and resolution is the video?

An MP4 with H.264 video, at 1080p in the shape you choose: 1080×1920 (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1920×1080 (16:9) for YouTube, 1080×1080 (1:1), or 1080×1350 (4:5) for the Instagram feed. You can export at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The testimonial video is drawn and encoded on your own device, using your browser's built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no render queue.

Can I use the testimonial video in client work, ads or monetized videos?

Yes. The video you download is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution needed.

Can I match my brand, add my logo or change the design?

Not in the free maker, which is deliberately simple. That's what Rescroll's AI motion graphics are for: describe the graphic you want in plain English, attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Ask for any change in the chat. It's part of the Pro, Ultimate and Scale plans.
