Linearity offers an Auto Animate feature in Linearity Move that automatically generates animated transitions between static design frames. Designers create artboards representing key moments of an animation, and the tool produces the in-between motion automatically with one click.

Details

Auto Animate is a content-aware feature that compares the state of design elements across multiple artboards imported from Linearity Curve, Figma, or Adobe Illustrator. It detects layer and element changes between artboards, such as position and color shifts, and automatically creates animated transitions. For example, if a shape is yellow on one artboard and red on the next, Auto Animate generates the color transition. Linearity Move launched in January 2024, with the Auto Animate feature included at launch. Silicon Canals reported that the tool is capable of 'slashing costs by 90 per cent and quadrupling production speed' compared to traditional motion graphics workflows.
