Motion graphics from a text prompt
Describe a lower third, an animated list, a callout, or a title and Vyra builds it as a motion graphic timed to your speech.
By Sulan Zhang, co-founder of Vyra · Updated 2026-09-24
Say "animate the three tool names on screen one at a time as I say them, stacked on the left, white on a dark bar" and Vyra builds that graphic, timed to your transcript. Lower thirds, big type, callouts, lists that build up and clear. No template library, no After Effects.
A template gives you someone else's graphic. A prompt gives you yours, in your fonts, timed to what you actually said.
How it works
- Upload footage. The transcript gives the agent word-level timing.
- Describe the graphic. What it shows, where it sits, when it appears, how it moves, what it looks like.
- Vyra builds it on the timeline. You can edit it after.
- Check a frame. "Show me 0:12."
- Adjust in one line. "Bigger." "Under my chin, not over my face."
What you can ask for
| You say | Vyra does |
|---|---|
| "Lower third with my name and handle for 4 seconds" | Builds and places it |
| "Animate the list as I say each item, keep them up, clear together" | A list that builds and clears, timed to speech |
| "Big bold caption for the line 'you are not charging enough'" | A composed emphasis moment |
| "Arrow pointing at the button when I say 'click here'" | Callout timed to the transcript |
| "Title card at the start, 'Day 4', serif, cream on black" | Title card in those fonts and colors |
| "Put the logo bottom right when I say the product name" | Timed overlay |
Prompts to paste
When I list the three tools, animate the three names on screen one at a time as I say them, stacked on the left side, bold Montserrat, white on a dark bar. Keep them all on screen until I finish the list, then clear them together.
Add a lower third with "Sulan Zhang" and "@sulansart" for the first 4 seconds. Slide in from the left, small, bottom left corner, white text, no box.
Make the line "this is the part everyone skips" a large caption. Words appear as I say them, stay together, then clear. Title font, white, upper third so my face stays clear.
Compared to the usual way
| Traditional editor | Template library | Vyra | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Making a lower third | Build it or buy a pack | Pick one and retype | Describe it |
| Timing to speech | Manual keyframes | Manual | From the transcript |
| Your fonts and colors | Yes, with work | Sometimes | Yes, by name |
| Changing it later | Re-keyframe | Re-pick | One line |
Limits
- The agent uses the fonts in Vyra's catalog. Default title face is Montserrat Black.
- No character animation or 3D. This is type, shapes, callouts, and layout.
- Check a frame after each graphic. Text placement is the thing that most often needs a nudge.
FAQ
Do I need to know After Effects terms? No. "Slide in from the left, small, bottom corner" is enough.
Can it match a graphic from a reference video? Yes. Attach it and name what to copy. "Same blocky title with the glow and drop shadow."
Are the graphics editable after? Yes. Text, position, and timing.
