Data visualization

Statistics that animate themselves.

Stats channels run on charts, and building them by hand in a motion-graphics tool takes hours per video. Etchly turns the numbers in your script into animated charts, maps and diagrams, with every value appearing on the word that says it.

Eighteen chart types, picked for the question

Every chart answers a different question, so the director picks the one that fits the point being made: a pie for a share of the whole, lines for change over time, a scatter plot for whether two things move together. It also changes chart type from scene to scene, so a numbers-heavy video never turns into ten bar charts in a row.

Compare: bar, column and radar charts, plus bar chart races
Share of a whole: pie, donut, waffle, treemap and funnel
Change over time: line, multi-line and candlestick charts
Relationships and patterns: scatter and bubble plots, heat maps
One big figure: gauges and icon counts

Timed to the voiceover, not dropped on a slide

Each bar, slice, point and cell appears as the narrator says it. The figure the story is about gets the emphasis: the slice pops out, the line ends on its label, the gauge needle swings to the number.

Charts are drawn in your brand kit's colors and fonts, in light or dark, so a stats channel keeps one recognizable look across every episode.

World maps shaded by the numbers

Give a value per country and the map becomes a heat map: countries shade from faint to your accent color, with a legend and labels on the standouts. It's built for the classic “which country drinks the most coffee” video, and the camera frames the region the data covers.

Explain AI and systems without stock footage

Topics like “how AI learns” need a diagram, not a number. A neural network builds layer by layer and then pulses a signal through to its answer. A network graph shows who or what is connected, from six degrees of separation to supply chains, with the hub at the center.

Real numbers, with sources on screen

A stats video is only as good as its numbers. Etchly's writer uses figures from the sources you add, your brief, your website or well-established public statistics, and puts the source and year on screen. If it doesn't have a real figure, it uses a layout without numbers rather than invent one.

Etchly doesn't look up live data on the web, so check every figure before you post. To fix one, edit the value, label or highlighted bar in the script editor or on the timeline and re-render. No new illustrations needed.

Built for faceless stats channels

Pick the By the numbers structure to tell the whole story in charts, or the Show the data option to give any topic a chart for every number. When your idea is about statistics, Etchly suggests both and uses fewer illustrations, because the charts carry the visuals. It works for a faceless YouTube channel in 16:9 and for TikTok, Shorts and Reels in 9:16.

FAQ

Data visualization: questions

Which charts can Etchly make?

Bar, column, line, multi-line, donut, pie, waffle, treemap, funnel, gauge, radar, heat map, scatter and bubble plots, candlesticks, icon counts and bar chart races, plus neural network and network graph diagrams and world maps shaded by country.

Where do the numbers come from?

From you: the sources you add to a video, your brief or your website. Otherwise the writer uses well-established public statistics and shows the source and year on screen. It doesn't browse the web for live data, so check figures before you publish.

Can I enter my own data?

Yes. Add your figures as a source before the script is written, or edit any chart's values, labels, periods and highlight directly in the script editor or the timeline.

Do charts cost extra credits?

No. Charts, maps and diagrams are drawn by Etchly's own engine, not generated by an image model, so a chart scene doesn't need a paid illustration.
