Oh I love this! I've been looking for a new motion design tool for a while now, so this comes right on time
I also like how interactive the get started guides
been searching for motion design software that's approachable but doesn't cap out on complexity — this looks like it. excited to dig in. would love to see more templates and tutorials from the community as it grows. congrats on the launch!
Super cool this is part of the Canva package now. Can't wait to play around with the JavaScript options

Who hunted Cavalry Studio?
Cavalry Studio was hunted by Adithya Shreshti. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
