Hera recently launched!

‍

^{"Hera is an AI motion designer that turns 5-hour animation projects into 5-minute tasks."}

‍

^{TL;DR: Creating motion graphics is time-consuming and requires complicated software. Hera uses AI to make motion design radically faster and cheaper, helping users create over 50,000 animations to date.}

‍

Founded by Peter Tribelhorn & Chia-Lun Wu‍

Hi everyone 👋 Meet Peter (pictured above on the right) and Chia (pictured above on the left), the founders of Hera.

‍

About the Team: They know their customers and tech inside out

Peter acquired and built leading YouTube channels with +30 million subscribers at Lunar X (e.g., Economics Explained, Game Theorists). He produced +240 videos and spent thousands every week on motion designers.

Chia was one of the first developers at Vyond, a leading video editing solution, where he built Vyond Studio, a full-featured, drag-and-drop online video editor that is used by 20k businesses today.

They have been friends for 5 years and decided to build something together last summer.

Problem: Motion design is complicated, time-consuming, and expensive

Peter used to build YouTube channels and produced more than 240 videos. He spent thousands of dollars every week hiring motion designers to create infographics, text animations, or map animations.

There he realized that motion design is mostly about mastering complicated software with many buttons, not actual creative work. Here you can see how complicated, tedious, and time-consuming the leading tool, Adobe After Effects, is:

‍

After talking to 130 video teams, ranging from YouTube channels, marketing agencies, and corporates, the founders learned:

1. There is no alternative to After Effects to create professional motion graphics.
2. Mastering After Effects takes years and watching countless tutorials/courses.
3. Hence, video teams hire expert motion designers.
4. And even for expert designers, it can take hours to create seconds of motion design.

‍

Solution: Hera fills this gap by making motion design fast & easy

‍

Start by describing your motion graphic in plain English

‍

You can tweak it as you like with on-canvas editing

‍

Pick an already created animation from other users and customize it

‍

Create your custom brand kit and all your animations will stay on-brand

‍

Customers: Everything changed the day the founders couldn’t stop people from using Hera

Two months ago, they launched Hera to creators in their network. People started talking about Hera on the internet, and they got 3,000 users who created more than 15,000 animations within one week.

Today, they have more than 100k people on their waitlist asking for access (and some are even selling invite codes).
