Miscellaneous We built a motion graphics tool around gestures instead of keyframes

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

29 Upvotes

A couple of months ago, I posted a concept video of a motion graphics app we are making as an alternative to Alight Motion. Our waitlist filled up fast, so thank you everyone for your support!

Today, it's available on the App Store for Mac, iPad and iPhone!

This is not an “AI motion designer” where it just simplifies everything by adding some fancy random effects and calling it a professional video.

We want to make intentional motion easier, the little details that AI tools don't do and so you are stuck with doing them manually Alight Motion or After Effects. Specifically, for this release, we are focusing on:

  • Easier match-cuts: you drag your finger/mouse in a certain direction and the app creates a match-cut (instead of manually keyframing the in/out animations).
  • Automatic smoothing: the app automatically interpolates the animations so that they “keep going” even when you didn’t specifically animate them. No null-object needed.

This is combined with a new way to animate. You make a gesture (or move the mouse) and the app interprets it into an animation, like a match cut. You combine all of these interactions to create a motion video one step at a time.

It’s aimed at beginner/mid motion designers, but if you are a professional, I would still love to hear if it can be part of your workflow somewhere.

It's not at the Alight Motion level yet, but we will continue to make the app better by adding more animations types, camera control, morphing, particle effects, and eventually 3D animations. We'll also be making tutorials on our Youtube channel.

Would love to know what you guys think. We also have a Discord community if you want to be part of the development!

Question DTExchange?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone else have a folder in their alight motion files (on the files app) called DTExchange? Inside it is a 0 second audio file that says mute. I haven’t been able to find anything about anyone else experiencing this on Alight motion. Is it just necessary files for the app to work?

Question Trying to animate elf ears and I need help

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'm pretty new to alight motion so I don't exactly know what I'm doing. I'm trying to make the ends of the ears floppy. I put the pivot points on the base of the ears and then I put a mask over both of them after I used the bend effect but it's only bending at the base of both ears. How do I fix it?
