Keyframer: Empowering Animation Design using Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) have the potential to impact a wide range of creative domains, as exemplified in popular text-to-image generators like DALL·E and Midjourney. However, the application of LLMs to motion-based visual design has not yet been explored and presents novels challenges such as how users might effectively describe motion in natural language. Further, many existing generative design tools lack support for iterative refinement of designs beyond prompt engineering. In this paper, we present Keyframer, a design tool that leverages the code generation capabilities of LLMs to…
