Motion Monster packs a full professional toolkit into an interface that's actually fun to use.
Rig characters with inverse kinematics for natural, effortless movement. Perfect for character animation without endless keyframing.
Let Motion Monster do the in-between work. Create smooth motion, fades, and transformations between keyframes automatically.
Draw with stamp brushes, textured fills, and expressive strokes built for animation. A deep brush library out of the box — plus custom stamp and texture import*.
Capture frame-by-frame with a webcam — live view, onion skin, focus tools, and a dedicated Stop Motion workspace, free. Canon EOS cameras* unlock in Studio.
Import audio tracks or record directly in the app. Sync your animation to music or dialogue with a visual waveform and sound FX* on the timeline.
Hand-draw every moment to match your vision. The intuitive timeline keeps every frame organized and easy to edit.
Add visual flair with non-destructive figure and scene effects. Glow, blur, and outline on characters; grain and pixelate across the scene — plus particles*, layer FX*, and premium figure FX*.
StudioSimulate gravity, collisions, and dynamic motion with live physics. Bake simulations to keyframes or add explosions for scenes that feel alive.

Motion Monster was made by a teacher for classrooms like yours. It supports accessibility needs too — see our Accessibility (VPAT) statement for schools and organizations.
Rig, draw, tween, and mix sound in one workspace. The tools are built for real animation. The interface stays simple enough to learn as you go.
Draw the pieces — a face, a body, arms. Set the handle positions. And add it to the scene.
