Motion Poster

Hi Hacker News, I built MotionPoster (https://motionposter.org/) to help people make short animated posters quickly, without spending a lot of time inside heavyweight editing software. What it does: - Upload a poster image (or start from a blank) - Add text overlays - Pick simple motion styles (for example: pan/zoom, subtle movement) - Export as a short video you can post on social platforms Why I built it: I often needed “a little motion” for posters, but a full motion workflow felt slow for small tasks. I wanted something that gets to a usable result in minutes. What I…

Motion Poster launched on January 6, 2026 with 7 votes, #1,609 of 14,584 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.

What it does

Upload a still image, write a motion + camera prompt, and generate a 5s or 10s motion poster video with strong prompt following—powered by Kling AI v2.6.

    Hey HN, meet Motion — a frontier agent for motion design. Here’s how it works: 1. Give Motion a prompt — include any context like product links, X threads, YouTube videos, personal assets, and design MD. Motion will reference styles, incorporate research, and storyboard scenes. 2. Motion creates the video — it can orchestrate entire explainers, launch videos, logo animations, convert articles to video, or even add motion design to your existing videos. 3. Edit everything — after generation, edit everything directly: resize, drag and drop, modify elements. Or just chat with Motion to iterate.…

  • I made a free animator. Think Adobe Illustrator but for animation2024 · trangram.com · ▲738

    See animations created by me using Trangram: https://www.trangram.com/showcase I started working on Trangram 7 years ago with a simple idea: a free browser-based vector editor that combines illustration and animation in one place. The goal is to make creating vector graphics and animations as simple as opening a browser. There's nothing to install, no account required, and projects are saved automatically in your browser, so nothing is uploaded to a server. I use Trangram every day for my own illustrations (and occasionally animations). One of the most rewarding parts of…

  • I completed shipping my desktop app2025 · pimosa.app · ▲526

    Hi, I'm a developer and first time i shipped the real product after observing the startups and indie hackers community for years. I had made so many useless apps [you should check my website https://ansh.life], but this time I built a very useful product that has a number of super easy-to-use tools in one app for video, music, and photo files. Users can compress, convert, resize, and do so much more with easy-to-use tools. Background: I developed a frame-by-frame video cropper to upload cropped landscape videos to Instagram Reels. However, it required FFmpeg, and as a noob video…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
