Instagram Story Templates are probably the most popular presets for After Effects right now. If you want to create your own presets, here is a great tutorial, to begin with from DopeMotions. In this particular case, an audio product is being promoted by a vertical ad for Instagram Stories.

First, start off by setting the dimensions of your project. Usually, you would just rotate FullHD dimensions 90 degrees counter-clockwise which is 1080×1920 pixels.

Now ad a few text elements and you’ve got your base to be animated next.
