Motion Design, for the web

GitHub branch checks state Join us on Discord Follow Theatre.js on Twitter Watch on YouTube

✨ Update: Theatre.js 1.0 is around the corner. We have temporarily moved development to a private repo so we can iterate faster. We'll push our work back to this public repo soon. Terms and license will remain OSS, as before. (Also, we're hiring – join the core team!).

Theatre.js is an animation library for high-fidelity motion graphics. It is designed to help you express detailed animation, enabling you to create intricate movement, and convey nuance.

Theatre.js can be used both programmatically and visually.
