Hera
Describe a launch video or animated infographic in plain English and get an editable motion graphics draft back in minutes, no After Effects required.
Overview
Hera turns motion graphics work that used to eat a full afternoon in Adobe After Effects into a five-minute text prompt. Describe the launch video, animated infographic, or overlay graphic you need, and Hera generates an editable draft you refine directly on the canvas, no timeline scrubbing or keyframing required. A brand kit locks in your colors, fonts, and logo so every export stays on-brand without re-setting styles each time, and a library of ready-made templates covers product launch videos, animated charts and data callouts, kinetic typography, and lower-third overlays for talking-head content. A REST API and MCP server let dev teams generate motion graphics programmatically as part of a larger content pipeline. Hera came out of Y Combinator's Summer 2025 batch and grew fast on word of mouth among founders needing Product Hunt launch videos and marketers building explainer content without hiring a motion designer.
