StoryMotion, a hand-drawn motion graphics editor for educational content creators.

---

5 months ago, I launched Inscribed.app [1], a tool based on Excalidraw for making step-by-step explanation (like slides) that I can easily embed to explain concepts on my blog.

as I later expanded into video, I decided to fork the project and create another tool which focus solely on making animation.

Key features:

- Keynote-liked interfaces with Excalidraw canvas - effects animation library - scene transition animation -- fun fact: you can also do “Magic Move” like you can do on Keynote :) - timeline editor for editing effects timing (with live preview) - use any fonts from Google Fonts

Try it yourself: https://storymotion.video/editor

I hope you like it. any feedback is appreciated.

Dang this is so cool. I submitted a small bug report but I love this thing. Are you planning to add keyframes / arbitrary movement of objects around the scene?
