MotionGfx

MotionGfx is a backend-agnostic motion graphics creation framework for Rust. Free and open-source forever.

Features

• Backend agnostic: MotionGfx describes what changes and leaves drawing to the backend.
• Just code: Scenes are plain Rust, built with loops, functions and variables.
• Relative actions: Each action starts from the field's current value, so steps chain naturally.
• Two-way playback: Play at any speed, in either direction, or jump to any frame without re-simulating.
• Batteries included: Common easing and interpolation functions are built in.

Example

// Move a ball up, then back down.
let track = [
    b.act(ball, path!(Ball.y), |_| 30.0)
        .with_ease(ease::quad::ease_out)
        .play(ms(600)),
    b.act(ball, path!(Ball.y), |_| 140.0)
        .with_ease(ease::quad::ease_in)
        .play(ms(600)),
]
.ord_chain()
.compile();
