What is animos?
animos is a browser based motion template tool for designers who need to show static work as short animated clips. Users pick a ready made template, drop in images or videos, adjust settings, and export a finished MP4 or WebM. It runs in the browser, so there is no desktop install.
Why animos works
Design mockups often get shared as static screenshots, which makes motion work invisible until someone opens a heavier video or animation tool. animos wraps the showcase step in browser templates with simple media replacement and settings controls, so a designer can turn a static mockup into a client ready clip instead of rebuilding a motion scene from scratch.
animos features
- Ready made motion templates. Start from a motion template built for design showcases, then swap in the visual assets that need to be presented.
- Image and video inputs. Users can drop images or videos into a template, so the same workflow works for static screens and existing clips.
- Settings controls. Templates can be adjusted in the browser before export, which keeps the showcase step inside one lightweight editor.
- MP4 and WebM export. Finished showcases can be exported as MP4 or WebM files for sharing, posting, or adding to a portfolio.
- No desktop install. The editor runs in the browser, so designers can make a motion showcase without installing a separate app.

- Product designers turning app screens into short motion clips for portfolio case studies.
- Freelance designers who need a client ready showcase from existing images or videos without opening a full animation suite.
