Animdock turns procedural motion templates into clips you can ship in minutes. Completely free, no registration, no fees, no subscription. Tweak, watch it render live, export WebM and PNG.
Congrats on shipping this, the procedural angle is what makes it interesting. Most browser animation tools are just timeline editors with a lighter UI, but running noise functions and physics simulations on the Canvas API in real time is a fundamentally different architecture. Parameters become the creative surface, not keyframes.
The WebM export with transparency is the right call for social content, that's the exact format TikTok and Reels overlays need. Curious though, does the export capture the live render at full fidelity, or is there any frame-drop when the browser's under load? Because procedural animations that look smooth in preview but stutter on export is a known pain point with Canvas-based recorders.
@priyatharshini_c Hi Priyatharshini!
First of all thank you so much for your comment you really touched the standpoints here.
We are trying to create an editor that everyone can use without any knowledge of motion design. Our first priority is keeping things as useful as possible.
Export capture is right now as you call it. Webm export doesn't have a static framerate it changes according to your devices performance. right now we are adding mp4 export which converts webm capture to 30fps mp4 video. So yes if your preview is stuttering under load your export will stutter aswell. Maybe in the future we can make it render in the cloud to release render load from the users device.
Alpha capture is something we are still trying to figure out. whenever we will find most easy and efficient method for exporting alpha videos we will implement it to website!
Congrats on the launch! 🚀
I like the idea of making motion design accessible without requiring After Effects.
I'm curious: do you plan to let users create and share their own motion templates in the future? A community library of reusable templates could make the platform even more valuable over time.
@prashant_patil14 In the future, if there's a reasonable level of interest, we can present template ideas created based on community requests to users and develop the upcoming templates.

Can you save and share a template config with a link so a teammate can tweak the same motion?
@thamibenjelloun You can now save templates to the cloud but there is no share function on it. Thanks for the comment we will keep this in mind!
Motion design usually has a steep learning curve, so it's nice to see tools making it more accessible in the browser. What's the most popular type of animation creators build with AnimDock when they first try it?
@harini_mukesh Thank you so much for your interest! We've been just launched so we are very excited about about what creators will build using our platform.
Hey Mehmet, motion graphics have always lived behind software that scares me off before I even begin, so being able to tweak something and watch it move right there is lovely. Feels like the fun is back in it.
@xavier_macia You don't even imagine how valuable this comment for us is! Our first priority is keeping things as easy as possible and our vision will remain same. We will add more and more templates by day to turn our website to a platform! Thank you!
