Flat Motion Graphics Look

In plain words

With almost no shadows or textures, and just simple shapes and a few colors, it makes clean graphic animation where information is easy to take in at a glance.

When to use it

App and service explainers, ads, YouTube information videos, and short-form videos that show numbers or processes.
