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.
3D scenes that run in a browser
Spline is a 3D editor in the browser whose output is an interactive scene rather than a rendered file, so the thing you made can sit on a web page and respond to a cursor. Video export and code export are there for when it needs to be flat or embedded properly. The learning curve is much shorter than the desktop tools it competes with.
Our note
Spline is the fastest route from nothing to a 3D thing on a web page, and the free plan is enough to find out whether you enjoy it. Blender is free and does everything, and will take you a month to reach the point Spline reaches in an afternoon.
