GUI Development Tools Add Motion to GUIs without Added Complexity
Create smooth, high-performance UI animations — faster, with less complexity — using Storyboard's integrated animation studio
Create movement that make embedded UIs come to life
Animations aren’t just decorative—they’re essential for delivering modern, high-resolution touchscreen experiences. With Storyboard, design and development teams can easily integrate smooth, purposeful animations that enhance usability, guide user interaction, and elevate the overall look and feel of your embedded UI.
Putting your UI in motion
Adding animations to your design goes beyond visual appeal—thoughtful UI animations provide real functional benefits. Subtle motion can enhance usability by guiding users, clarifying navigation, and making interactions more intuitive within your embedded application.
Storyboard’s Animation Recorder simplifies this process by tracking changes in your application and automatically generating animations that capture the transitions between start and end states—saving time while ensuring smooth, consistent motion throughout your UI.
Working backwards to move forwards
When adding animations to your embedded UI, creating reverse animations is as easy as checking a box. Storyboard automatically generates the reverse by replaying the same steps in the opposite direction—no extra coding required.
Experience your UI animations both forwards and backwards without doubling your workload, so you can focus on crafting intuitive, standout user experiences.
Preview animations on-demand
Preview animation refinements directly within Storyboard using an intuitive playback window that lets you view animations in full motion or frame-by-frame.
This makes it easy to showcase your animations to your team and gather feedback. They can see the complete animation and zoom in on individual frames to identify any needed adjustments.
Flexible Playback with Timeline Precision
Whether static or animated GIFs, animations must be simple to iterate and scale.
Storyboard’s Animation Timeline gives you precise control to play animations forward or reverse, and trigger specific parts based on back-end events or scenarios.
Loop Animations with Full Control
Easily loop animations in your UI to create smooth, continuous motion—whether it's for loading indicators, subtle background effects, or ongoing feedback. With built-in loop settings, you control how and when animations repeat, reducing the need for extra code and keeping your UI logic clean and efficient.
