MotionVFX mKBHD Mac download

The latest release of mKBHD adds 51 ready-made presets built with Marques Brownlee. You get his signature lower-thirds, titles, and transitions without building them from scratch.

Editors who want MKBHD-style motion graphics fast

• Editors who want MKBHD-style motion graphics fast.
• Projects in Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Vertical or horizontal timelines in DaVinci Resolve; horizontal in Premiere Pro.

Requires 2022 apps or newer and 4 GB VRAM

• Premiere Pro and After Effects need the 2022 versions or newer.
• Final Cut Pro requires macOS Big Sur 11.7.10 and FCP 10.6.5.
• DaVinci Resolve needs 4 GB of VRAM.
• Unpack the archives and place the two folders into Motion Templates/Transitions and Motion Templates/Titles.

Freelance tech reviewers and YouTube creators

Freelance video editors working on tech reviews, unboxings, or product explainers get the most from mKBHD. The presets match the clean, punchy style Brownlee uses, so if your clients expect that look, you save hours of keyframing. YouTube creators who post weekly gear reviews also benefit because the titles and transitions speed up repetitive tasks.

Editors who split time between Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve get double value. The plugin works in both, so you keep the same visual language across projects without rebuilding presets per app. Motion designers who touch both Premiere Pro and After Effects will also find the horizontal-only Premiere layout fine for standard 16:9 deliverables.

Dropping one of 45 title presets onto a rough cut

You open a timeline that already has rough cuts of a review segment. The first step is dropping a title preset. You drag one of the 45 mKBHD titles from the Motion Templates folder onto a clip. The lower-third appears with the standard MKBHD style: bold sans-serif type, a thin accent line, and a subtle animation. You double-click the text in the preview window and type the product name.

For the transition between two B-roll clips, you pull a preset from the Transitions folder. The motion keeps the pace of the edit without slowing down the cut. You do this four or five times across the timeline. Total time spent on graphics: under three minutes.

Later, you adjust the color on a few titles to match the brand palette. The elements are grouped in a way that lets you change the font weight and color without breaking the animation. No script editing, no nested timelines. You export the sequence and move on to the next project.

Ten-minute smartphone review without building lower-thirds from scratch

Consider a tech YouTuber who films a ten-minute smartphone review every week. Without mKBHD, each lower-third would be built from scratch in Fusion or the FCP title editor. With the plugin, the editor picks a preset, changes the text, and it is done. The 51 presets cover enough variations that the same look does not get stale over a season of episodes. The 6 transitions also handle the fast cuts between talking head and B-roll that define the channel's pacing.
