Motion Canvas is a TypeScript library that uses generator functions to programmatically create vector animations, paired with a web-based editor offering real-time preview and audio synchronization. It is designed for producing informative motion graphics and animated videos, exported as image sequences or rendered video via FFmpeg.
Use cases
- create animated explainer videos with code
- sync animations with voice-over narration
- make motion graphics using TypeScript
- preview animations in real time while coding
- export animations as video or image sequences
- visualize ideas as vector animations
When to choose
- you want programmatic, code-driven animation instead of keyframe timelines
- you need to synchronize vector animations with audio narration
- you prefer writing animations in TypeScript with your own IDE
- you want real-time preview powered by Vite
When to avoid
- you need general-purpose video editing software
- you want drag-and-drop timeline animation without coding
- you need raster/video footage editing rather than vector motion graphics
