Hera

Most AI tools used for creating animated effects simply produce videos that cannot be modified afterward. However, the selling point of Hera is that its generated results are presented in layers, just like in regular design files – allowing for layer-by-layer editing.

Images, layouts, and animations are all placed on the same canvas, allowing for the simultaneous control of multiple intelligent systems when generating content. For example, if you need to create three versions of a vertical-screen ad, you can select one of them to convert into a design draft and then add animation effects to it. In addition, APIs and MCPs are also available for use.

These tools are more suitable for marketing and design professionals who work on creating advertisements or product launch videos. When it comes to producing high-quality, immersive video footage, such animation tools are not the right choice.

Before using it to create vertical-format short dramas, you can first check in TVLab how popular shows on the same topic begin and at which episode the plot takes a turn. Then, select an inspiration card with a detailed storyboard and generate each scene one by one according to the sequence of shots outlined in that template.
