Motion design in the browser, exported to Lottie
Jitter animates the things a creator actually needs animated, which is titles, logos and social posts, without asking anybody to learn After Effects. It imports from Figma and exports video, GIF and Lottie on every plan including the free one. The free plan watermarks and caps you at three workspace files.

Animated explainers from templates
Powtoon builds the whiteboard and cartoon explainer style that training departments have used for a decade, and it has since bolted on avatars, dubbing and text to speech from other vendors. Templates carry most of the work. The house style is recognisable enough that a viewer who has seen one Powtoon will know they are watching another.
