What is Premation?

Premation is a free, open-source desktop motion-graphics studio for macOS and Windows. It offers a compositor with layers, keyframes, and a graph editor, designed to be a local-first alternative to After Effects. It supports 2.5D animation, vector rigging, particles, and a deterministic render pipeline.

How to use Premation?

  • Download and install Premation for macOS or Windows. Create a composition, add layers (shapes, text, images, video, audio, SVG, Lottie), animate properties with keyframes, and use the graph editor to refine easing. Export to formats like MP4, WebM, MOV, GIF, PNG sequence, or Lottie.
