CREATE MOTION GRAPHICS EFFORTLESSLY Turn vector art, illustrations, or text into expressive motion graphics in just a few steps. Start with artwork from Figma, Illustrator, Sketch, or Linearity Curve — Move keeps all your layers and groups intact for total control over every element.

Morphing: Transform one shape into another for seamless logo or icon animations. Pinning: Anchor start and end points for fluid, natural movement. Animation presets: Apply ready-made motion effects with a single tap, then customize every detail. Custom timing curves: Fine-tune easing with precise numeric controls for a cinematic feel. Real-time keyframing: Every tweak updates automatically on the canvas. Add images, videos, and audio with full timeline control over music, sound effects, and voiceovers to create rich motion graphics with sound. ONE INTERFACE FOR DESIGN AND ANIMATION Switch between Design mode to edit shapes, nodes, and text, and Animate mode to craft motion graphics with precise control. Import your Linearity Curve files directly to start animating without rebuilding your designs. No need to jump between separate design and motion graphics apps — everything happens in one intuitive interface optimized for touch and desktop. MOTION DESIGN FOR EVERYONE Choose from ready-made motion graphics templates for social stories, ads, product demos, and logo animations to get started in minutes. Every template is fully editable, so you can adapt it to your brand and publish fast.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Motion Graphics Linearity Move at 4.5 against Roughups's 3.0. Motion Graphics Linearity Move also leads on ratings volume (158 vs 2). Roughups's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Motion Graphics Linearity Move holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Motion Graphics Linearity Move has 158 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Roughups's written reviews are positive against 60% of Motion Graphics Linearity Move's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Roughups ships an update every 2 days, Motion Graphics Linearity Move fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
