Whether you're creating motion graphics for brand visuals, social media, explainer videos, or logo reveals, Move gives you everything you need to design, animate, and export — all in one motion design tool. 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. Adjust keyframes directly on the canvas to craft your motion design frame by frame. Every change updates in real time so you can fine-tune timing and rhythm as you work. POWERFUL MOTION DESIGN CONTROLS From simple fades to complex morphs, Move gives you professional motion graphics tools that feel intuitive. 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. FLEXIBLE EXPORTS FOR EVERY PLATFORM Export your motion graphics in MP4, MOV, or GIF, up to 4K resolution and 120 fps, with transparent background support — ready for social media, video production, or digital signage. NEW: Export as Lottie files in JSON format for lightweight, scalable vector animations on web and mobile. Lottie files load instantly and integrate seamlessly into websites, apps, and digital products — no heavy video files needed. S EAMLESS SYNC AND COLLABORATION Start your motion design on Mac, continue on iPad with identical tools and synced progress. Collaborate with teammates or switch devices mid-project without missing a frame. WHO IT'S FOR Motion designers: Professional-grade motion graphics, faster than ever.
