Motion design and visual effects in your browser

What you can do with pulpMotion

• Start from a template. 59 templates (titles, kinetic type, lower thirds, logos, social media, infographics, captions, backgrounds, credits) that adapt to 16:9, 9:16, square and 4:5.
• Animate like a pro. A timeline with keyframes, a graph editor, easing curves, 40 ready-made animations, 14 transitions and 31 effects.
• Open your After Effects files. .aep and .aepx projects and .mogrt templates are read in part, with a report that says exactly what was kept.
• Caption automatically. Speech is transcribed on your device and word-by-word animated captions are added, in eight styles.
• Cut out, stabilise, reframe. Animated subject cutout, stabilisation, vertical reframing that follows faces, and object removal on a locked-off shot.
• Export anywhere. MP4 for YouTube, Reels, TikTok and LinkedIn, WebM, GIF, transparent APNG sticker, PNG sequence or a Lottie animation for the web.

Who is it for?

Content creators, social media managers and small marketing teams who need short on-brand videos quickly: a brand kit (colours, fonts, logo) entered once applies to every template.

Motion designers looking for an After Effects alternative for simple jobs, for reviewing a project on another computer, or for producing a Lottie animation. pulpMotion uses familiar ideas (compositions, precomps, track mattes, masks, wiggle or loopOut expressions), but it does not replace After Effects for projects that depend on third-party effects, 3D or motion tracking.

Your files

pulpMotion saves projects as .pmotion files, media included, and also keeps them continuously in your browser. It opens After Effects files (.aep, .aepx), .mogrt templates, Lottie and dotLottie animations, and inserts PSD files (separate layers, RGB only) and SVG. The media of an After Effects project are not stored in the .aep: you relink them after opening. Lights, 3D model layers and effects with no equivalent are not kept. Video export runs in the browser and needs a recent Chrome or Edge.

Frequently asked questions

Can pulpMotion replace After Effects?

For titles, logo intros, social media videos and Lottie animations, yes. For projects built on third-party effects, lights, 3D or camera tracking, no: opening an .aep is partial and the import report lists what is missing.

Can I open an .aep file without After Effects?

Yes. Compositions, layers, keyframes, masks, mattes, text, shapes and expressions are kept; the project's videos and images must be relinked from your disk. The original file is never changed: your work is saved to a new .pmotion file.

Are my videos uploaded to a server?

No. Rendering, export and the AI automations all run on your device. AI models are downloaded once, with your consent.

Which browser do I need?

A recent browser with graphics acceleration. MP4 or WebM export needs Chrome or Edge; otherwise you can still export to GIF or PNG.
