SHORT ANSWER: Animated FAQ Template

SHORT ANSWER turns a customer question into a nine-second animated FAQ: a folded question mark unfolds into an answer banner, reveals supporting imagery, and closes with a clear next step. Built natively through SVGator MCP for recurring customer education, it includes live editable text, named layers, and separately replaceable logo and image elements — so another business can make it its own without rebuilding the motion.

Small businesses answer the same customer questions repeatedly. A static FAQ page works, but a short animated clip — posted to social feeds or embedded in a help center — can hold attention and communicate faster. The challenge was to design a reusable motion template that any business could customize without animation experience: swap an image, edit live text, change a color, and export.

Narrative arc in under ten seconds. The animation follows a clear sequence — question, reveal, answer, call to action — so the viewer absorbs the information in a single watch.

Editable-first architecture. Every text element is live (not outlined), every image sits in a named, separately replaceable layer, and the logo is an independent group. A new user can customize content without touching the timeline.

Named layers and editing groups. SVGator's layer panel mirrors the template's semantic structure: Question, Answer Banner, Supporting Image, Logo, CTA. This makes the project self-documenting for anyone who opens it.

Loopable choreography. Opening and closing poses match, so the animation works as a seamless social-media loop or a single play.

The template was built end-to-end through SVGator MCP — Antigravity's machine-callable interface to the SVGator animation platform. The MCP pipeline handled project creation, element placement, keyframe sequencing, and export without leaving the agent workspace.

Key motion stages:

Folded question mark unfolds and scales into position

Answer banner slides in from below with eased timing

Supporting imagery fades in behind the text

CTA ribbon extends from the bottom edge

Elements retract in reverse order, returning to the opening pose

All keyframes use cubic-bezier easing curves tuned for smooth, professional motion on mobile screens at 1080 × 1350.

The finished template is a self-contained SVGator project ready to customize and export as MP4 or animated SVG. It includes:

Live editable text for question, answer, and call-to-action copy

Separately replaceable logo and image elements

Three-color palette controlled by named color variables

112 keyframes across 9 seconds of motion
