Cracked is your motion graphics copilot. Instantly create animations with text descriptions and continue refining them until they’re perfect. Whether you're looking for a creative spark or faster turnaround times, Cracked makes animation accessible.
Hey there 👋
Anirudh (@anirudh_rahul) and I built Cracked as part of this summer’s YC batch.
It’s well known that Adobe AfterEffects and similar platforms are notoriously painful to use. Only a handful of individuals have mastered the motion graphics techniques required to make even simple animations.
Cracked lets anyone create animations with intuitive text prompts. Our goal is to make motion graphics truly accessible through promptable animation generation. We’re focused on building a motion graphics copilot that not only helps generate ideas, but also brings them to life.
We hacked on v0 of Cracked in just 2 days. Check it out: https://cracked.studio/. We’d love to hear initial thoughts and ideas.
We are tracking some of our favorite creations. Go take a look: https://imgur.com/a/lv89wgc!
Join our waitlist to stay in touch as we embark on this journey — this is just the beginning!

@anirudh_rahul@keellylu this is super promising, I have been using Aftereffects to create these things. Would save hours if it does what it claims to be. Thanks for building, will definitely give it a go.
@anirudh_rahul@keellylu@anirudh_rahul@keellylu This seems like it would be useful for working on animations within an app! Thanks for creating it.
One question: if working with vectors, is it possible to extract JSON as well
@anirudh_rahul@keellylu This is super exciting. Have always found it interesting how people had used stuff like Manim to code out amazing YT videos. But this will definitely be something much easier to use!!
Looking forward to it
@anirudh_rahul@keellylu Congrats on launching Cracked! Love the idea of making motion graphics accessible with text prompts—AfterEffects is no joke, so this is a total game-changer. Can’t wait to see how this evolves. Good luck!
Hi Kelly,
Cracked sounds like a game-changer for the motion graphics industry! I love the idea of using text prompts to create animations. How detailed can the text descriptions get for generating animations?
Endless motion graphics exploration!
Love what has been built here.
Hoping developer take note of how they can exploit it.
Congratulation to the team involved on the YC and launch!!
@keellylu great vision, love it!
One other low-hanging fruit for you guys might be motion animations that people create in no-code website builders like Framer. I use Framer for my website, and it would be a game-changer if Framer had a motion composer or something like that.
that would be the death of threejs 😅
This looks like a great addition to our motion graphic team. Waiting for the full launch!
FYI - the playground has an error.
1. go to rain effect
2. play
3. increase particle count
4. play again
5. app crashes !!
I love animation. I always add animation to my videos to make it more interactive. animation takes time doing it manually. If AI does this work for me its great.
This is SO cool! I wish I had access to cracked when I was trying to animate my demo videos. It would be awesome to see if I’d be able to export my own components to cracked in the future
This is exactly what I've been looking for! So many hours in After Effects and Premiere Pro trying to create demo videos - can't wait to start using it!
Congrats on the launch! 🎉
As an experienced web developer, I often found it extremely convoluted at times to create just a simple animation for my websites and apps, but even a little wiggle animation can spice up the CTA button so so much.
I've tried out the v0 on your website, and it is potentially going to be my only go-to animation maker in the future! It's impressive what you guys have built in two days.
I look forward to further integrations. I'm a very big Lottie guy for example!
Thank you for making this!
This is quite an improvement on my current animation process -- it might be 10x easier than AfterEffects (even with years of experience on the platform). Really great work, excited to see how this evolves and grows to accommodate more complicated animations.
