Magic Animator brings static designs to life using smart motion with just a few clicks—no timeline dragging, no animation know-how required.
It’s great for Display Banners, social ads, and time-sensitive campaigns that need polish without production time.
How to animate a static design using Magic Animator:
Once you have your design open in Ad Studio, you will find the Animator menu on the left hand side, where you will see the available animation presets:
- Alpha
- Bounce
- Cross
- Drop
- Expand
- Flip
- Grow
- Hit
- Intersect
- Joy
- Keynote
Selecting one of the presets will open the Animator preview screen. Here you will see a preview of it applied to your design and the Animator Settings which allows you to adjust the animation.
You can customize the following properties:
- Delay - controls the time delay between the layers being animated
- Duration - controls the duration of the animation on the layers
If you are happy with the animation, you can click the Apply & use button on the top right hand side. In case you would like to try a different preset, you can go back to the previous screen with the back arrow button on the top left.
Note: if your design has multiple slides, you will need to apply the animations to each slide individually. You can use a different preset for each slide.
Pro tips:
- You can select the None option from the preset menu to clear all of the existing animations from your design.
- Enabling the Show on all slides option for a layer will exclude it from being animated, this can be useful for logos or other elements which you would like to keep static.
- The applied animations can be further adjusted on the Timeline which allows advanced editing.
