Visual asset generation for animation

Generate custom graphic elements, background environments, icon sets, and textural assets that feed directly into After Effects or Cinema 4D workflows. Eliminate hours of stock library searching.

Diagram and infographic creation

Turn data, processes, and organizational structures into clean vector-style diagrams for explainer videos and corporate motion graphics. Generate Mermaid and Graphviz diagrams as a starting point.

Create a sequence diagram showing how an API request flows from a mobile app through authentication, load balancer, microservices, and database.

Generated sequence diagram with 6 actors: Mobile App → Auth Service → Load Balancer → API Gateway → Microservice → Database. Annotated with response times and error paths. Export ready.

Design trend and reference research

Stay ahead of visual trends in broadcast design, social media graphics, and tech marketing. Research what styles are dominating award-winning work and gather reference materials efficiently.

What are the dominant visual trends in tech company explainer videos in 2025? Focus on color palettes, typography styles, and animation techniques.

Dominant trends: frosted glass UI with depth of field blur, variable-weight typefaces for kinetic text, split-screen comparisons, and 3D-to-flat morph transitions. Pantone-adjacent coral and electric blue dominate. 8 reference examples linked.

Brand asset preparation

Extract brand colors and typography from existing websites and assets, then use them to generate on-brand visual elements for motion packages without starting from scratch.

Extract the brand colors, fonts, and visual style from apple.com, then generate 3 lower-third graphic concepts that would match their aesthetic.

Extracted: Primary colors #000000, #FFFFFF, #0071E3. System font (SF Pro). Minimalist, high-contrast, negative space-heavy. Generated 3 lower-thirds: solid bar, animated line reveal, and ghost box with animated type.

Client script and storyboard prep

Research the client's industry and competitors, then rapidly generate rough visual references for storyboard approval before investing time in full animation production.

I need to create a 90-second explainer for a cybersecurity startup. Research their industry visuals and generate 4 storyboard frames for key moments.

Industry research: dark themes, lock/shield iconography, matrix-style data visualization dominant. Generated 4 storyboard frames: opening threat landscape, product shield activation, dashboard reveal, and ROI results screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI-generated assets be used in commercial motion graphics projects?

Yes, images generated via Generate Image from text prompts are cleared for commercial use. If you use image editing with third-party reference photos, ensure those inputs are properly licensed for your project scope.

What diagram formats does Diagram Generator support?

Diagram Generator supports Mermaid, PlantUML, Graphviz DOT, D2, and C4 syntax. This covers flowcharts, sequence diagrams, entity relationships, network topologies, and architectural diagrams — all of which can be exported and refined in vector tools.

How do I maintain visual consistency across generated assets?

Providing a consistent style prompt across all generations (color palette, rendering style, lighting direction, and background type) is the most effective approach. Running Brand Extract on a reference site first gives you a precise color and style vocabulary to inject into prompts.

Can I extract exact hex codes from a brand using Brand Extract?

Yes. Brand Extract returns the full color palette as hex values, along with font families, spacing ratios, and overall aesthetic descriptors. This data can be used directly in your design tools and as style parameters in generation prompts.

What resolution should I target for broadcast deliverables?

Use Image Upscale to bring generated assets to 4K (3840x2160) for broadcast and streaming deliverables. For digital-only projects, 1080p is typically sufficient. Always upscale before importing into After Effects to avoid quality loss in final renders.
