We make the complex easy.
Introducing Tangens ShortMotion.
ShortMotion (shAWrt‑mOH‑shun) noun. The goal of ShortMotion is to democratize motion graphics: stripping away complexity and delivering powerful animation tools in a simple, approachable interface.
Our Purpose
ShortMotion was built to make motion graphics accessible to everyone, not just professionals with years of training. Unlike traditional video editing, motion graphics is about animating objects on screen to tell stories, create intros, transitions, and product showcases. Where heavyweight tools like Adobe AfterEffects or Blender overwhelm with complexity, and video editors like CapCut or Canva offer only minimal animation, ShortMotion bridges the gap: a lightweight, intuitive app that empowers creators and small businesses to bring ideas to life in seconds.
Who We Serve
Content Creators: Small and medium creators who want intros, transitions, and engaging visuals for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and beyond.
Small Businesses: Entrepreneurs who want to showcase products with short, impactful animations instead of static images.
Our story
2014: Inspiration sparked while using Apple Motion to promote apps on YouTube.
The Problem: Existing tools were too complex, endless timelines, tiny keyframes, steep learning curves.
2022: Development of ShortMotion began, with a vision to simplify animation into modular, drag‑and‑drop building blocks.

ShortMotion was born from a simple frustration: motion graphics were either locked behind complex, professional tools like Adobe AfterEffects and Blender, or buried as afterthoughts in video editors like CapCut and Canva, leaving everyday creators and small businesses without a way to easily animate their ideas.
Back in 2014, while experimenting with Apple Motion to promote apps on YouTube, the spark hit the concept was powerful, but the process was exhausting, with endless timelines, tiny keyframes, and steep learning curves that made even basic animations feel out of reach.
By 2022, that frustration turned into action, and ShortMotion began development with a clear vision: strip away the clutter, simplify the timeline, and make animations feel like LEGO blocks, big, visible, drag‑and‑drop pieces you can resize and move without stress.
