Motion design,
directed in words.

Describe your film. Direct every take. Refine every frame.

The tools your film needs. One place to make it.

Direct it, refine it, hand it to the assistant, export it.

Everything can move.

With the tools you know, and a few you will not want to give up.

  • Keyframes and curves

    Set a key, shape its ease in the graph editor, nudge it on the timeline. The way you already animate.

  • Wiggle, loop, spring

    The usual behaviours sit on any property, one click away: wiggle, loop, spring, stagger, react to the beat.

  • Properties that follow

    Tie a property to another layer, or write a small expression if you like that. Never required.

  • A style named once

    Colours, eases and sizes kept as a palette: change one, the whole film follows.

Under the hood, a project is a readable file that versions like code. See the format, if you are curious.

The toolbox.

What a motion designer looks for first, before any detail.

What you see is what you export.

The preview and the export are drawn by the same engine, frame for frame.

  • MP4H.264, or H.265 in 10 bits
  • MOVProRes 4444, from the command line
  • WebMVP9, with alpha
  • GIFAnimated image
  • PNGA still or every frame, up to 16 bits
  • LottieVectors for web and apps
  • SVGA frame as vectors
  • WAVThe sound mix alone

Batch renders from a terminal too, for studios that automate: see the docs.
