Launched this week
Hera is the first AI motion designer that creates professional animations in seconds. Unlike video-gen tools, Hera generates code-based animations where every parameter can be fine-tuned. Since launching 2 weeks ago, Hera users have created 200K+ animations.

👋 Dear Product Hunters, I'm Peter, one of the founders of Hera.
After spending thousands weekly on motion designers for my YouTube channels (Economics Explained hit 100M+ views), I watched them click through endless After Effects menus just to animate a simple bar chart. That was my "aha" moment: professional animation tools turn creative work into button-clicking hell.
Six months ago, my co-founder Chia (who built Vyond Studio, now used by 20K+ businesses) and I started tackling this problem. Unlike video-gen tools, Hera generates code-based animations where every parameter can be fine-tuned through prompts or on-canvas editing, giving users the control of After Effects with the simplicity of Lovable.
Since launching publicly two weeks ago, Hera users have already created over 200,000 animations. Join them and create your first animation at https://hera.video/
@peter_tribelhorn Interesting product. Good luck.
On side note, I am a regular viewer of Economics Explained, learned a lot. But as far I recall the presenter mentions that he is Aussie but your are German from your Li profile. Do you have co-founders?

@admiralrohan Hi Rohan, great to hear! I actually worked very closely with Michael (the Aussie guy) for 2 years, and he is still with the team. @leowuhera is my co-founder!
@leowuhera @peter_tribelhorn That is nice, and congratulations on getting into top 3 for the launch.

@peter_tribelhorn @admiralrohan Hi Rohan! I'm the other Co-founder 👋
@peter_tribelhorn @leowuhera Hi Chia nice to meet you.
Morph: Accurate, Fast AI Code Edits
@peter_tribelhorn f you want Cursor style edits you can try our cursor style fast apply model! lmk if you want some credits to test with, love this use case
Hera
@morphllm yes, we'll definitely check that out. Reducing the time to get the animation is a priority for us.

@peter_tribelhorn congrats on the launch!
Hera
@albertpurnama Thanks!
@peter_tribelhorn I can't thank you enough for this. As a designer who always felt awkward with Motion design (AF, Jitter, anything), this is gold. I will be using it and will give my 2c later on. Again, thanks 🙌
Hera
@peter_tribelhorn @nico_ramella Let us know how we can improve!
Hera
@nico_ramella Thanks for the kind words, looking forward to your feedback!
@peter_tribelhorn Wow! This looks super promising, looking forward to use it in my build in public journey. Congrats on the launch!

Congrats Hera! Over 200k animations created in two weeks is insane!
Hera
@edlook Thanks, Edward!
Hera
@edlook Crazy but real!

Ngl, being able to fine-tune every animation with prompts instead of endless clicking is a game changer—fr, Peter and Chia nailed it with Hera!
