π 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_tribelhornΒ 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
@morphllmΒ yes, we'll definitely check that out. Reducing the time to get the animation is a priority for us.

@peter_tribelhornΒ congrats on the launch!
Hera
@albertpurnamaΒ Thanks!
@peter_tribelhornΒ 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 π

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

Tried it out - Does a great job. Did not think AI was that far! Kudos to the team.
Hera
@johannesdanielmeyerΒ Thanks Johannes. I guess we're still at the very beginning. Love what you're building at Mentara as well :)
Hera
@johannesdanielmeyerΒ Still a far way to go. Let us know how we can improve!
stagewise
This thing is absolutely awesome, if you want to build a nice looking animation without having any skills in video editing or animation building. Already used it a couple times and with the ability to re-prompt or "make it auto-pretty", you pretty much always get a very usable result.
Hera
@glenntoewsΒ thanks for your kind words, Glenn. Love that what we're building resonates with you. All the best for you and your team as well, I'm rooting for you!

π Congrats on the launch, @leowuhera and @peter_tribelhorn Hera is a brilliant example of how AI can make motion design accessible to everyone. 200k+ animations in just 2 weeks β thatβs insane growth! π₯
Just tried it and Iβm blown away by how fast and intuitive it is. If youβre into design, marketing, or content creation, you need to check it out β itβs a serious time-saver. π
Dropping my upvote β and looking forward to seeing whatβs next for Hera!

Ngl, cutting out all those endless After Effects clicks is geniusβbeing able to just prompt and tweak animations sounds realy game-changing for busy creators. Big props to Peter & Chia!
Hera
@cruise_chenΒ Thanks mate. Love to hear that, it's still day 0 for us though.
Hera
@cruise_chenΒ Time is money πͺ
