A motion-design workspace, not another text-on-gradient app.

Why we rebuilt it

The first version of ShortsCraft animated paragraphs: big words sliding across a colourful gradient. Creators told us plainly that it did not look like animation. They were right — the tools people admire animate objects and interfaces: a toggle flipping, a counter ticking, a progress ring sweeping, a logo drawing itself. The subject matter was the problem, not the polish.

So the template engine was replaced. Every template is now a single looping idea, built from CSS only, on a monochrome base with exactly one accent colour you control.

How it works

1. Pick a template from twelve motion pieces across eight categories.
2. Edit the content — the fields are named for what the animation actually shows, so a progress ring asks for a percentage, not a paragraph.
3. Build a sequence on the timeline. Each clip has its own template, text, accent and duration.
4. Export a real MP4. Headless Chrome renders the animation frame by frame and ffmpeg encodes H.264 — deterministic timing, no screen recording, no dropped frames.

What the AI does and does not do

The AI writes: scripts, titles, descriptions, hashtags, follow-up ideas and thumbnail prompts, in Hinglish. The motion is not AI-generated — it is deterministic CSS, which is why the same project exports identically every time.

Everything it writes is a first draft. Review it, make it yours, then publish. That is also the platform-safe way to work.
