✨ MotionForge

REPLACES ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS for one price.

Real motion graphics in your browser, without the subscription. Build animated titles, lower thirds, logo stings and social intros on a composition timeline — keyframe position, scale, rotation and opacity with easing, dress layers with blur, glow and drop shadows, mask them, and export a finished MP4 or WebM, rendered on your own machine from the same math the preview shows you.

$39 one-time. No subscription. Yours forever.

What it does

• A composition timeline. Layers — text, shapes, images, video and solids — stacked in z-order with in/out points, visibility and lock; a playhead you can scrub, frame-accurate timecode, and compositions at 1920×1080, 1280×720, square 1080×1080 or vertical 1080×1920, at 24, 25, 30 or 60 fps.
• Keyframed animation with easing. Position, scale, rotation and opacity each take keyframes, interpolated with your choice of easing — linear, ease in/out, cubic, back, bounce and elastic — so a move can snap, settle or overshoot exactly the way you set it. Keyframes are editable on the timeline, not hidden in a panel.
• Text animation presets. Fade, slide, typewriter, pop and rise: one click writes the keyframes for a text layer, and every keyframe it writes stays editable afterwards — presets are a starting point, never a lock-in.
• Effects and masks. Per-layer blur, glow, drop shadow, brightness, contrast, saturation and hue — plus rectangular and elliptical masks (with invert) that clip a layer to a shape. All of it renders identically in the preview and the export, because both draw through one shared renderer.
• Starter templates. Title cards, lower thirds, logo stings and social intros: load one, swap the words and colours, and it is yours. Templates are ordinary compositions — every layer and keyframe in them is editable.
• Your media never uploads. Files live in your browser's own storage (IndexedDB); editing and export happen on your device. Projects autosave locally, and a project exports/imports as JSON with media relinked by name, duration and size.
• Real exports. MP4 (H.264) or WebM at 720p, 1080p, square or vertical, with a progress bar and cancel. When the fast WebCodecs path is unavailable, a clearly labelled real-time capture path is used instead — and the export line always reports the dimensions and codec actually produced.

What MotionForge does not do — stated plainly

• Not After Effects. No 3D layers or 3D camera, no node-based effects graph — effects here are per-layer. No particle systems, no motion tracking, no rotoscoping, and no expressions or scripting.
• No AI features. No auto-animation, no content-aware fill, no magic anything. Every move on the timeline is one you made or one a preset wrote for you.
• No audio. Compositions are silent — MotionForge animates pictures, not sound. Add music or voiceover in a video editor afterwards; ResolveForge is the sibling for that.
• Not a video editor. ClipForge records, ResolveForge cuts and assembles footage. MotionForge animates graphics over a composition — it does not trim, split or splice video clips.
• Browser-local by design. No collaborative editing and no cloud media library: projects and media stay on the device and browser you imported them in. Moving a project means exporting its JSON and relinking the same media files on the other machine.
• No After Effects project files. MotionForge cannot open .aep projects, and its own JSON is its only project format.
