guess how long it took to create these Advanced looking Motion Graphics 30 minutes an hour an hour and a half well it was all less than 1 minute each from the idea to the prompt to getting the final result that's how long it took me and as a video editor and Motion Graphics designer myself I'm genuinely kind of terrified of what this tool is capable of it understands users expectations very well it's really on par with the video editing industry I mean it knows how to differentiate video editing Styles what characterizes them and so much
more which we're going to get into right now it's called Hera let's go ahead and click create now once you log in you'll be able to watch the demo but I'm the teacher here today so no need for that you can also explore the templates we'll dive deeper into that later on but spoiler alert you can create your own templates which is super cool okay we'll talk about templat later later on for now let's go back here at the bottom you've got a text box to describe your Motion Graphics kind of like Chad GPT butt
on steroids you can also tell Hera to get inspired from a particular image you upload add some custom svgs if you want vectors and even import a CSV file that would contain data to create a graph at the top you can change the duration of the animation from a short as 5 Seconds to As Long As 60 seconds you can change the aspect ratio to fit your needs you can also adjust the background color of the animation once it's already generated and you can also edit the positioning of objects within your motion graphic all right
everyone is waiting for it let's put this to the test guys we're going to recreate three viral style animations let's say two from Vox and one from Ean gazi then after we do so we'll check out the templat that Hera offers how they work and how you can create your own let's start off with the first animation from Vox number one will be an animation from Vox for example this is a very simple animation where there's just a blog post and some text is underlined I'm not going to be recreating that animation because it's too
simple but in that case you can just use the templates in Hera which we'll go back to this later but there's actually a template that replicates this really closely and here you can notice that there's this yellow highlight effect which is very common in vox's videos the first motion graphic we'll recreate is something like this very simple but it would take some time to create an after effect what I'm actually going to do now is I'm just going to take a screenshot of this and I'm just going to use the function in Hera where you
can upload an image right here you can see I attached it right here and I'm just going to tell Hera to animate it in a specific way make the circle graph expand from zero to entirely completed make sure that the text on the sides is introduced in the form of a typewriter cor now if I hit submit and okay this is the final result you can see that there's some slight error with this circle it doesn't fit entirely and so if I wanted to I could tell Hera to fix this for me by describing follow-up
changes alternatively I could use the edit function and just make this a little smaller so that it fits within this area and now if I block this okay I think I'm going to change the duration because it's quite long if I change it to 5 seconds it's going to be faster that was really simple and quick but that's pretty much how this tool works it's simple and quick and accurate now I'm just going to hit export 720p because 1080P and 4K is for pro users I've got the basic plan so let's just stick with that
yeah these are basically your export options MP4 works 30f PS let's just hit export and now I've got it on my computer where guys you can get 75% off your first month using Hera with the code Oscar that's right and if you're not sure yet you can create an account and generate 10 Motion Graphics completely for free okay now let's move on to the second animation from Vox Tera is also really good at creating graph animations so I've actually found this graph in that same video actually I'm going to make a screenshot so I've attached
that graph image right here but I'm actually going to ask Hera to maybe input some different values so animate this graph growth from beginning to end inflation in the United States 10 years curved and athetic smooth also get inspired from the attachment yellow Square the inflation Peak so this is the result that's a little too quick I think think and the inflation Peak okay so a little bit slower make sure that the text is upper part of the box so it does not interfere with the graph okay okay the inflation Peak box is better make
the growth animation slower yeah it is a little bit junky in this area but still I think that would make for a great animation in a YouTube video now let's do the Ean gzi animation next animation will be from the one and only Iman godi with his breakthrough editing style throughout the past two years maybe he's been changing the game so to say or rather his editors have been and this is the animation we're going to recreate with Hera so I'm just going to go full screen let's just create a screenshot because that's the easiest
this method to recreate somebody's animation okay so now here has the image attached I'm going to change the duration to 15 seconds and I'm going to tell Hera to first of all replicate this animation make each box slide up one after the other slowly and smoothly change the content of of what's inside the boxes to let's say time money and financial assets adjust the icons accordingly to that and let's just hit submit okay please use icons from the Apple iPhone Emoji Library it doesn't really work so we've got this Apple emoji list so here are
the Emojis for time I'm just going to use this one for financial assets let's use this one it's really similar to the one that hair I used right here but still it's a little bit different and for money I'm just going to use this one okay I've got all of these three imported hit [Music] enter as you can see creating animations with Hera is super quick sometimes you might might need to tweak things a couple times but the effort and time required to create animations with Hera is nothing compared to doing it manually in After
Effects but there's something that will make your workflow with this tool even more stable and straightforward templates basically each time you create an animation and you like it you can save it and use it as a template in the future all those three viral style animations we created today I've saved as templates and and shared it with you in the link in the description so that you can go and check it out yourself the same goes for public templates which are getting better and better as the Hera community grows let's try to recreate this super
cool map animation I found in the public templates library on Hera okay so this is the templates tab on Hera we can go to public templates or we can go to your templates I didn't have any of my templates saved currently but if you go to public templates you've got loads to choose from okay and here something that you'll find is that map animation I was talking about in order to make my own version of this animation I'm just going to click use this template so first of all I want this animation to be a
little shorter so I'm just going to turn down the duration and second of all I want a different country so please do the same but or India and this is the result it gave us I'm also going to request it to add a shadow behind the red board order I asked it to add a shadow behind this and yeah definitely there is a shadow behind this red border which added depth really cool please add a zoom in effect so that at the beginning the entire planet is visible it it actually did a really good job
plus it removed the background remember check out the instructions down below to get your 75% off your first month using Hera and if you perhaps find this this video interesting make sure to check it out I'm sure you'll learn something new
