As someone who's constantly working with After Effects, Cracked blew my mind. The AI suggestions for motion graphics saved me hours of work. I was skeptical at first, but the results speak for themselves. This is like having an assistant animator on my team.
Anirudh (@anirudh_rahul) and I built Cracked as part of this summer’s YC batch.
It’s well known that Adobe AfterEffects and similar platforms are notoriously painful to use. Only a handful of individuals have mastered the motion graphics techniques required to make even simple animations.
Cracked lets anyone create animations with intuitive text prompts. Our goal is to make motion graphics truly accessible through promptable animation generation. We’re focused on building a motion graphics copilot that not only helps generate ideas, but also brings them to life.
We hacked on v0 of Cracked in just 2 days. Check it out: https://cracked.studio/. We’d love to hear initial thoughts and ideas.
@anirudh_rahul@keellylu this is super promising, I have been using Aftereffects to create these things. Would save hours if it does what it claims to be. Thanks for building, will definitely give it a go.
@anirudh_rahul@keellylu@anirudh_rahul@keellylu This seems like it would be useful for working on animations within an app! Thanks for creating it.
One question: if working with vectors, is it possible to extract JSON as well
@anirudh_rahul@keellylu This is super exciting. Have always found it interesting how people had used stuff like Manim to code out amazing YT videos. But this will definitely be something much easier to use!!
Looking forward to it

@keellylu this is sooo cool. This is basically Playground but for motions. Did you make the intro video with Cracked also?
@theonlymoyouknow Playground for motion is the vision 😎. Parts of it!

@keellylu great vision, love it!
One other low-hanging fruit for you guys might be motion animations that people create in no-code website builders like Framer. I use Framer for my website, and it would be a game-changer if Framer had a motion composer or something like that.
that would be the death of threejs 😅
Hi Kelly,
Cracked sounds like a game-changer for the motion graphics industry! I love the idea of using text prompts to create animations. How detailed can the text descriptions get for generating animations?
I love animation. I always add animation to my videos to make it more interactive. animation takes time doing it manually. If AI does this work for me its great.
Endless motion graphics exploration!
Love what has been built here.
Hoping developer take note of how they can exploit it.
Congratulation to the team involved on the YC and launch!!
