Hera
AI-powered web editor for generating editable motion graphics from text prompts.
Hera is a web-based motion design platform that turns text descriptions into editable animations and infographics. Backed by Y Combinator, it allows creators to generate scenes, map animations, and charts, then iterate using conversational text prompts without manual keyframing.
What it's for
- Generate animated infographics and data charts from text or CSV data
- Create animated map graphics and travel routes using preset cartography styles
- Produce animated titles and kinetic typography for marketing videos
- Iterate on animation timing, layout, and colors using natural language prompts
Features
- Prompt-to-animation engine for generating multi-step motion graphics
- Conversational prompt-based iteration to tweak timing, sizes, and colors
- Support for custom Image, SVG, Font, and CSV data inputs
- Multiple aspect ratios (widescreen 16:9, square, vertical) and custom durations
- Built-in map animation generator with multiple map visual styles
- Template library for rapid remixing and scene starting points

Why it was saved
- @itsemilyhiggins: Creates AI motion graphics and animations automatically without complex keyframing.
- @adrien.ninet: Eliminates the need for complex manual animation in tools like After Effects by allowing users to generate and modify motion graphics via natural language prompts.
- @v.i.s.h.ai: Turns hours of manual motion graphic and infographic animation work in software like After Effects into a quick prompt-based process without requiring motion design skills.
- @oskar_rduch: Turns a written animation brief into a finished 10s widescreen animation, then accepts natural-language follow-ups ("make the text much bigger", "dashed line must not be behind the text") to regenerate. Demonstrated producing a clean $0→$10K money graphic with yellow bold text, glow and dashed connector line.
- @hasantoxr: Lets anyone create professional motion design for infographics, explainers, UI animation, and branded video in seconds without design skills.
- @hasantoxr: Generates polished motion design in seconds without After Effects skills; output is editable.
- @ycombinator: A shortcut for builders who need product animations (UI demos, call-to-action clips, social content) without hiring a motion designer — the video shows polished results from prompts like 'Call to action animation for my trading app'.
