One figure, with the label that explains it

A statistic on screen is a claim. Describe the number exactly, the unit, and the short label that says what it measures. Add the comparison only if it fits in the same glance, such as this quarter against the last one. Do not ask for a dashboard. Ask for one figure a person can repeat after the video ends. Put the source wording in the prompt if the label has to match a report.

Say what must not be rounded away. A rate, a currency, and a count are different kinds of precision. If the number is 3.5 and not 4, write 3.5. Motion will not know your rounding rule. Context can be a single phrase under the figure. A paragraph of methodology belongs in the caption of the post, not inside the moving frame.

Update the number when the source changes

Figures go stale. Click the number in the finished video and replace it when the report updates. Click the label if the metric was renamed. Change color if a positive result and a negative result should not share a hue. Adjust timing so the figure arrives when you say it, or just before, if the video will be watched without sound.

Keep the layout. A new prompt can invent a different chart for the same fact, which makes a series of updates look like unrelated clips. Editing the element preserves the frame your audience already learned how to read. That consistency matters more than a novel transition between two versions of the same statistic.

Export the citation as a normal video

Export MP4 and place it next to the written source. Starter at $19/mo includes 60 generations, 1080p, no watermark, and a commercial license. Pro at $49/mo includes 200 generations, 4K, transparent background export, and a priority queue. Aniform has no free generation quota. Draft the number on paper, or in the prompt field, before you spend a render on a figure you have not checked.

If the number was wrong, do not publish a correction as a second style. Retype the figure in the video you already have and export again. The audience sees the same frame with the right value, which is what a correction should look like.

Put the unit in the label, not only in the caption under the post. A moving 12 can mean percent, dollars, or weeks, and the frame is often screenshotted without the caption. Click the label until the unit is visible, then export. The citation and the picture should agree even when they are separated.
