Reviews praise Hera for rapid, polished motion outputs that stay on-brand and cut production time dramatically. Users highlight smooth prompt adherence, premium presets, easy exports, and responsive support. Non-designers appreciate going from idea to finished animations in minutes, while pros note code-level control for precise tweaks. Common caveats: occasional prompt misreads, accuracy slips (e.g., chart proportions), and a learning curve for advanced parameter tuning; faster performance and onboarding are desired. Overall, creators report a steady pace of improvements and strong value for social, promo, and product visuals.

đź‘‹ 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/
