Motion Canvas

Motion Canvas is two things:

  • A TypeScript library that uses generators to program animations.
  • An editor providing a real-time preview of said animations.

It's a specialized tool designed to create informative vector animations and synchronize them with voice-overs.

Aside from providing the preview, the editor allows you to edit certain aspects of the animation which could otherwise be tedious.
