Feature idea: expand 2D animation / motion graphics support

[RedWilly]

Really enjoying FreeCut so far, especially the keyframes and basic shape tools.

One thing that would make it even more powerful is pushing it a bit more toward motion graphics (kind of like a lightweight After Effects workflow).

Right now it feels like the foundation is already there, but it’s missing things like:

• vector import (SVG, etc.)
• more vector-based animation options
• better control when animating shapes/layers

It would be great to be able to create simple 2D animations directly in FreeCut without needing another tool.

Not sure if this is already planned, but it feels like a natural next step given what’s already implemented.

SVG is supported now. can you elaborate on the last two points?

The idea is not to turn FreeCut into full After Effects, but to make simple motion graphics (like animated logos, text, or UI elements) possible without leaving the editor.

So I’ve been playing around with q5js.org, and I think it’s really interesting. It feels like having support for something like WebGPU could open up more possibilities in the future, especially for more advanced rendering and effects.

I’m kind of thinking at a level between a typical NLE (current freecut ) and something closer to After Effects. Just enough features to make motion graphics possible inside the editor.

This is just an idea for now, not something urgent or required, but more like a direction that could make the editor even more powerful over time.

FYI MOCKUP UI

OK so this just some kind of idea I have. I just did a mock up from the img above.
Anyway, you can close the issue for now since SVG support has been implemented. That solves my main current need.

Hi, a better solution would be to implement an additional motion graphics editor page like After Effects directly inside the main editor (Example: Fusion page in davicni resolve). This way, users who want to edit videos can stick to the edit page, while those creating 2D or 3D motion graphics can use the dedicated motion graphics editor page
