👋 Dear Product Hunters, I'm Peter, one of the founders of Hera.

After spending thousands weekly on motion designers for my YouTube channels (Economics Explained hit 100M+ views), I watched them click through endless After Effects menus just to animate a simple bar chart. That was my "aha" moment: professional animation tools turn creative work into button-clicking hell.

Six months ago, my co-founder Chia (who built Vyond Studio, now used by 20K+ businesses) and I started tackling this problem. Unlike video-gen tools, Hera generates code-based animations where every parameter can be fine-tuned through prompts or on-canvas editing, giving users the control of After Effects with the simplicity of Lovable.

Since launching publicly two weeks ago, Hera users have already created over 200,000 animations. Join them and create your first animation at https://hera.video/

@peter_tribelhorn I can't thank you enough for this. As a designer who always felt awkward with Motion design (AF, Jitter, anything), this is gold. I will be using it and will give my 2c later on. Again, thanks 🙌

💡 Bright idea

The text animations are really cool! Any advice on how to sync up the text animation with actual audio?

@lienchueh Hi Lien, that's great feedback. That's something we heard a couple of times from our users. For now, the easiest way is to do it manually with prompting and uploading your audio to Hera. We're working on an automated sync, though!

💡 Bright idea

The motion looks good, but I am confused about if LLM truly understood my command. Maybe the project could ouput the thinking content as feedback of user input?

💎 Pixel perfection

I was one of the very first users of Hera, and it’s been a total game-changer for my YouTube channel. Instead of spending hours in complex tools like After Effects, I can just describe what I want and Hera delivers professional-quality motion graphics in minutes.

The animations are not only fast to create, but they also look polished enough to drop straight into my videos without extra editing. For creators, marketers, or anyone who needs high-quality visuals quickly, Hera is a no-brainer.

Super Intern

Curious about the technical side - what type of code does it actually generate? Does it output CSS animations, JavaScript, or support specific frameworks like React/Vue?

@mout You can think of Hera as Lovable for animation. Similar tech.

Life Note

This is one of the problem spaces that I've always wished someone could work on because if a startup has an accessible way to generate elegant and beautiful graphics that will help demonstrate concepts and improve product experience, it will be invaluable. It will definitely bring the whole design and startup space forward. Best of luck team!

Review Hera?

Reviewers largely see Hera as a fast, practical way to make motion graphics and promo videos, especially for non-designers who want polished results without wrestling with heavier tools. They repeatedly praise the speed, brand consistency, easy exports, and the option to fine-tune code-based animations when needed. Several also say the team is responsive and the product keeps improving. The main caveat is reliability and usability at the edges: prompts can be misread, advanced tweaking can feel less approachable, and one reviewer reported an inaccurate chart output.

Most Informative

I stumbled on Hera while looking for faster ways to create motion graphics, and it’s one of those tools that feels like a genuine time-saver. Instead of wrestling with After Effects or spending hours on small details, Hera turns simple text prompts into polished animations in just minutes. It’s quick, clean, and surprisingly fun to use—especially if you’re not a professional designer but still want professional-looking results. The best part is how much friction it removes from the creative process. You can go from idea to animation almost instantly, preview different styles, and export in multiple formats like MP4 or GIF. The fact that it generates code-based animations also means you get more control if you want to fine-tune things later. For marketers, content creators, or teams who need motion on a regular basis, this feels like a serious productivity boost without the usual steep learning curve. That said, it’s not without trade-offs. The outputs are impressive, but every now and then Hera can misinterpret prompts or deliver results that need extra tweaking. And while basic use is very straightforward, digging into advanced customization does take some time to get used to. Still, compared to the traditional alternatives, those small hurdles feel minor—overall, Hera strikes a great balance between speed and creative control.
