Morphable is here. A free motion design app that runs entirely on your own computer, with no account to make and nothing uploaded anywhere.
Build scenes from rectangles, circles, text, images, video, audio and SVG artwork. Group things together and they move, turn and animate as one.
Draw your own shapes with a pen tool, then reshape them point by point on the canvas.
Animate almost anything: position, size, rotation, colour, gradients, outlines, shadows, blur, transparency and volume. 22 kinds of animation in all.
Tilt objects in 3D. Grab the rings on the canvas and turn something on any axis, with real perspective rather than a flat squash. Images, video and text all tilt properly.
Move objects along a path you draw: a straight line, a series of points, a curve, or the outline of any shape already in your scene. Change that shape and everything following it moves with it.
Control how something travels along a path. Set how far it gets in the time you give it, and whether it slows through tight bends and makes the time up on the straights.
Pick from 25 ready-made motion styles, or draw your own curve and save it under a name you will recognise later.
Animate text letter by letter, word by word, or line by line. Choose which direction it arrives from, how much it springs as it lands, how much the letters overlap, and what colour it fades in from.
Add motion blur to anything that moves, so quick movement reads as movement instead of a jump.
Keep several canvases in one project. Each has its own size and length, and they sit side by side on a single workspace.
Switch to Design mode to work on how something looks without animation moving it around while you are editing it.
Arrange the panels the way you want them. Drag any panel anywhere, and the layout is still there next time you open the app.
Mask artwork to any shape you like, and the mask travels with the object.
Turn imported SVG artwork into shapes you can edit point by point.
Style with solid colours, gradients, outlines, shadows, blur and 12 blend modes, and animate every one of them.
See audio and video clips as waveforms on the timeline, so you can line motion up with sound by eye.
Export to MP4, WebM or MOV at whatever size you need, including 4K and beyond. No watermark, no resolution limit, no cap on how much you export.
Audio is mixed for you. Every clip is lined up with the picture, volume changes are followed, and it all arrives in the finished video.
Cancel an export and it stops there and then.
Undo anything. Dragging a slider counts as one step to undo, not forty.
Objects snap to each other's edges and centres as you drag them, with guides showing you what they lined up against.
Set the pivot point on an object once, and everything you animate afterwards turns around it.
Double-click a project file to open it straight in the editor, on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Improvements
What you see on the timeline is exactly what lands in the exported file, frame for frame. A slower computer gives you the same video, it just takes a little longer to get there.
Artwork is redrawn at the size you export rather than stretched up to it, so something you made at 1080p is genuinely sharp at 4K.
Preview stays smooth while you work, and the app keeps responding while it handles the slow jobs in the background.
Your project is never left half-written. A save finishes completely before it replaces the old file, so a crash or a lost battery cannot leave you with a broken project.
If a video or image you used has been moved or deleted, the object stays where you put it with a placeholder in its place, and Morphable tells you exactly which files are missing.
Files are checked as they come in, so something with the wrong extension is caught at import instead of failing later on.
Only the media your project actually uses is opened, so nothing else on your computer is handed to the app.
Projects made in older versions keep opening, and one made in a newer version says so plainly instead of loading incorrectly.
