Begin with your video.
Choose footage or an exported Plotagraph animation as the foundation for your composition.
Give every layer its moment.
Build on a video with atmosphere, graphic elements, and independently timed effects. PlotaMotion helps you shape what appears, where it belongs, and when it enters the scene.

Make timing part of the story.
Start with footage or a motion artwork exported from Plotagraph. Bring in a cloud, a character, or a flash of light, and choose the moment each effect becomes part of your composition.
Compose layer by layer.
Add effects from the library or use a personal still element saved in My FX. Position and scale each layer, then adjust opacity, brightness, contrast, saturation, or hue to make it feel at home in the scene.
Find your visual rhythm.
Let one effect arrive before another. Refine a layer with rotation, flip, or the FX Eraser, and explore its motion controls. A subtle sequence of changes can tell a richer story than everything appearing at once.
Build a short visual story.
Add and time your effects.
Choose an effect, shape its appearance, and arrange when it enters the scene. Build the sequence one layer at a time.
Watch it all together.
Preview the complete piece and refine the timing. For looping work, check the join before using the available export options.
Working with PlotaMotion.
How is PlotaMotion different from Plotagraph?
Plotagraph directs movement in a still image. PlotaMotion starts with a base video and lets you arrange added effects over time. The two workflows can be used together.
Can I use my own effects?
PlotaPhoto can prepare custom still effects and save them to My FX. You can bring those elements into PlotaMotion alongside effects from the library.
Where can I use the Creative Studio?
The full Creative Studio is available through in-app All-Access plans on iPhone and iPad. Check your app for current features and pricing; Android and web capabilities differ.
