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.

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.

Storyboard on iPad the way a production actually works. Draw with Apple Pencil, give every panel its shot, lens and camera move, then hand the board over as a printed sheet or a timed animatic. BUILT FOR PRE-PRODUCTION Every panel carries what a crew needs to shoot it: shot size, lens, camera move, action, dialogue and its hold in seconds. Type it once and it prints. PRINT LIKE A PRODUCTION Three page presets, each for a different room: • Director's Board — two panels a page with full notes beside them, for review • Shooting Board — four panels a page with shot, action and dialogue underneath • Contact Sheet — nine panels a page, numbers and timings only US Letter or A4, landscape, with a title block on every page: production, sequence, scene, artist, revision, date and page number. THE CAMERA MOVE, DRAWN Set a push, pull, pan or tilt and it prints on the panel the way a board artist draws it by hand — start framing, end framing, and arrows between them. No one has to imagine it. A REAL DRAWING TOOL Pressure and tilt through Apple Pencil, a full ink library, custom brushes, layers with blend modes, clipping masks and alpha lock, non-destructive adjustments, selection and transform, symmetry and perspective guides, and editable text on the panel. COMPOSE FOR THE FINISH Framing guides for 2.39, 1.85, 4:3, 1:1 and 9:16 sit over the working canvas, so you draw for the aspect the film finishes in. Panels export at that aspect — never squeezed into someone else's box. ANIMATICS Give each panel its own hold, or tap the timing out live against the beat. Camera moves travel across the drawing. Drop in scratch audio and export an MP4. SCRIPT IN, BOARD OUT Import a screenplay and get one panel per beat, with the action and dialogue already on each panel. YOUR WORK IS YOURS Nothing leaves your iPad. No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no analytics, and no network connection at all. Projects export as portable files you can AirDrop or keep in Files. FREE AND PRO Free: one board of up to six panels, and exports carry a watermark — enough to draw a real sequence and see exactly what the finished sheet looks like. Pro is a single payment, no subscription: boards of any length, as many as you need, and clean export with no watermark. It restores on every device signed in to the same Apple Account. iPad only, and deliberately so. This is built for a pencil on glass.
