Essential Graphics elements
You should decide on the video templates you are going to use at the planning stage of your film, video and multimedia projects. The ETH closer is an essential graphic element that must be added at the end of all ETH Zurich videos. Please also ensure that you use the DIN Next font in your videos.
The video templates have been designed for ETH staff who work on film, video and multimedia projects as well as for external vendors who create media products on behalf of ETH Zurich. Consistent use of these templates enhances recognisability and continuity in all internal and external communication, thereby enhancing the ETH Zurich brand.
You need Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe After Effects to use the video templates. ETH staff can obtain Adobe Creative Cloud and the DIN Next font via the IT shop. The video templates are available exclusively in 16:9 format and in resolutions 1080p25 (full HD) and 2160p50 (UHD).
Motion Graphic Templates for Premiere Pro
For easier editing, Essential Graphics elements are available that you can drag and drop directly into the "Essential Graphics" window in Premiere Pro. This eliminates the need for editing in After Effects and allows you to adjust the content directly in Premiere Pro. However, it is a prerequisite that Premiere Pro is installed on your computer. After importing, filter for "ETH" in the Essential Graphics Browser.
