Launch videos and feature animations, made in-house
Every release needs a launch clip, a looping hero animation for the site and a stack of social cuts — usually the week before it ships. Premation gives a product team an After Effects-class editor that also exports Lottie for the website and renders personalised variants from a spreadsheet.

Questions
- Can marketing and design share templates?
- Yes — templates expose their editable fields in the Essential Graphics panel, so someone who did not build the animation can change the copy and images safely.
- Does it export Lottie?
- Yes, vector shapes and transforms export to Lottie. Effects that are raster by nature stay in the video exports.
- Is our footage uploaded anywhere?
- No. Projects are files on your disk and rendering happens on your GPU. Cloud sync is optional.
