Unboxing videos and tech reviews are popular—a great way to gain an audience—but it's also a competitive scene. If you've developed good technique and interesting reviews, adding some polish to your production can help increase the trust and authority viewers see in you.
In this round-up, we cover five helpful review video templates and resources for After Effects available from Elements, Envato's subscription service for creatives. Everything covered here is available as part of the Elements subscription.
1. Hi-Tech Logo Reveal 02
What better for a tech review video than a hi-tech logo to go with it? This download for After Effects is modern and funky whilst still being short and simple enough not to distract from your brand.

2. Flat Design Infographics
Infographic packs are invaluable for many productions. In a tech review, you often need to demonstrate facts, figures, numbers and comparisons and you want to make sure you do that in a way that interests and engages your audience, not bores them! The Flat Design Infographics pack for Adobe After Effects looks great visually and has everything you’ll need.

3. Product Review & Promo
If you’re looking for a great all-in-one template, then Product Review & Promo for After Effects has it all. Simple to add your own photos, text and video, it’s a great way to start out before moving onto your own style as your skills improve.

4. Star Rating Pack
Reviewing something often means scoring it. Check out the Star Rating Pack for After Effects with five different 3D animations, rotating stars and timing options.

5. 60 Video Production Icons
This set of 60 Video Production Icons pretty much covers the whole production process, with everything from cameras and film reels, to editing and YouTube. They’re a great way to inject some personality into your broadcast.

Each asset here is from Envato Elements, where you can download unlimited resources for a monthly subscription.
Tuts+ Tips for Tech Videos
- Know your audience and try to cover a small area well, rather than doing too much and spreading yourself thin, and remember to let your personality shine though.
- Post consistently. If you post five videos one week and then nothing for three months, you’ll find it hard to keep your fan-base.
- Be prepared to borrow or buy if you want to review new tech. You’d need to be a well-established brand before any major companies will send you anything.
- Get good at taking product photos and video. Creators of high-priced tech goods won’t thank you for making their product look like cheap trash, even if your review is good!
- If you’re adding voiceover or presenting, don’t wing it. Write down what you want to say and either learn it so you can speak naturally, or think about using a teleprompter.
