Vela | Generate motion graphics with text. No After Effects

Hey Product Hunt 👋 We built Vela because motion graphics are still absurdly hard to make — and they shouldn't be. If you've ever needed an animated intro, a product explainer, a map animation, or a motion graphic for a social ad, you know the options are: (a) learn After Effects and spend 6+ hours, (b) hire a freelancer for $400–$800 and wait 3 days, or (c) use a template that looks like everyone else's. Vela is option (d). — — — HOW IT WORKS 1. Type what you want Describe your motion graphic in plain English. "A premium dark-theme SaaS product reveal with animated UI mockups." "An animated map showing our delivery zones across India." "A clean lower-third intro for my YouTube channel." 2. Vela generates it In under 2 minutes, Vela builds and animates the entire motion graphic. Timing, transitions, typography, layout — all handled automatically. 3. Refine by chatting Don't like the color? Say "make the background navy." Want it faster? Say "tighten the animation timing." Vela updates it live. No export, no re-import, no timeline hunting. — — — WHO IT'S FOR → Creators who need professional intros and outros without a design budget → Marketers who need animated social ads without a motion designer → Founders who need a product demo animation for their launch → Educators who want animated explainers without touching a timeline → Freelancers who want to deliver motion graphics 10x faster — — — WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most AI video tools generate stock-footage collages. Vela generates actual motion graphics — animated typography, shape animations, UI reveals, and map animations — from scratch, from your description. And unlike templates, every output is unique to your prompt. You're not picking from a library. You're describing exactly what you need. — — — We're just getting started. Would love your feedback — especially from anyone who's suffered through After Effects. 🙏
