MotionGraphix - 2.5D Animation System


MotionGraphix User Guide MotionGraphix Gestures MotionGraphix Tips

This feature-rich 2.5D animation app lets you create anything from Ken-Burns-style photo montages to animated GIF 'memes', from instructional videos to spatial or stereoscopic film titles. Start by loading a photo or movie background, or create a colored background gradient. You can add animated color correction, zoom, pan or blur to the background at any time. Next add layers using your own media or one of the many included 'sprite' images. Now animate your layers with a powerful but simple keyframe animation system - just set the time and move the layer. You animate the size, rotation, transparency, and everything else the same way. And because MotionGraphix is a 2.5D animation system, you can also change the Z-position, or depth, of a layer, and it will shrink or move behind other layers as if it were moving farther from the 'camera'.


3D Transform Video

3D Transformed video elements



MotionGraphix lets you add as many layers as you like, and animate them. Layers can be made not just from still pictures, but also from videos and animated GIFs. You can create your own text elements with outlines and shadows, or define your own basic shapes using standard Bezier curves and color gradient fills. And MotionGraphix includes a built-in sprite cutter, making it easy to cut elements out of your own photos by tracing a Bezier curve around them, or by using Apple’s AI background removal And once you cut an element out, it is added to your library, to reuse in future projects.


Multiple Layers

Multiple green-screen and fg-mask elements



You can also animate hand-drawn elements. Sketch a line or letter, and MotionGraphix will draw it on as the animation plays. This is really great for making underlines or circles to highlight parts or places in your background picture. You can also add particle-system layers, like snow, fireworks, bubbles, and more.


Custom Particles

Custom Particles Generator and Presets



And because advanced keyframe animation controls underlie the quick and intuitive process of simply setting the time and moving the element. You can dig in for precise control of your motion when needed, or let MotionGraphix do the work with built-in motions like spiral, jitter, bounce and more. For matching graphics to a moving background, try the revolutionary 'Digital Tracking' system: use your digit to follow the motion while the video plays, then apply that motion to a layer.


Custom Particles

Timeline, Camera, and Keyframe Editors



When you're done, share a picture or movie to Photos or any app that accepts sharing, including Mail, Messages, YouTube, Dropbox and many more. If you have set depths on your layers, you can even save out stereoscopic renders in standard split-screen formats, red-blue anaglyph 3d format, or VR format suitable for viewing with Google Cardboard type viewers.
