Motion graphics · honest comparison

Rescroll vs Hera.

Both turn a description into a motion graphic. Hera gives you the graphic to put in your edit; Rescroll gives you back your video with the graphic already on it.

The short version

Hera is an AI motion designer: describe an animation, refine it by prompt or on its canvas, and export it as an MP4, a GIF or a transparent MOV. It has templates and brand kits, and it's great for standalone animations — intros, explainer scenes, animated stats — and for overlays you composite in your own editor.

Rescroll AI Motion Graphics starts from your video. You drop your talking-head footage, add a moment and describe it. Rescroll looks at the frame, designs the graphic for that exact moment, places it around you, times it to the word from a transcript, and exports your whole video with the graphics on it.

Where the difference shows up

The last mile. With a clip or overlay from any generator, the remaining work is yours: import it, size it, move it off your face, and slide it along the timeline until it lands on the word. For one graphic that's fine. For six per video, every week, it's the part that takes the time. Rescroll does that part for you.

What the AI can see. Rescroll designs each graphic knowing what's in your frame — where you are, where your hands go, where your captions sit — and what you're saying at that moment. A generator working from a prompt alone doesn't know any of that.

Standalone work. If there's no talking head at all — a logo sting, a product explainer, an animated title card — Hera is the better fit. Rescroll only builds on footage you bring.

What it costs

Hera has a free tier with a daily limit of generations at lower resolution; its paid plans are shown in the app. Rescroll's motion graphics come with the Pro plan at $20/month billed yearly ($29 monthly) or Ultimate, and have no free tier.

The honest take

We're not for everyone.

Both tools are great at different things. Here's where each one wins.

Where Hera wins

Great at standalone motion design.

  • Standalone animations from a prompt — intros, explainer scenes, animated stats and titles.
  • Transparent MOV export to drop overlays into any editor.
  • Canvas editing to adjust a graphic by hand after it's generated.
  • Templates and brand kits, and a free tier to start.

Where Rescroll wins

Built on your footage.

  • Starts from your video — the graphic is designed for the moment it goes in.
  • Placed around you — clear of your face, hands, captions and the app buttons.
  • Timed to the word from a word-by-word transcript. No sliding clips along a timeline.
  • Your real brand and data from attached screenshots, saved pages, logos, fonts or a CSV.
  • A finished video out — one MP4 with every graphic and your original audio.

Common questions

Hera vs Rescroll — answered.

Is Rescroll a Hera alternative?

For graphics on your own talking-head video, yes. Hera generates motion graphics clips and overlays that you add in an editor; Rescroll builds the graphic directly on your footage, placed around you and timed to your words, and exports the finished video.

Which is better for motion graphics on Reels and TikTok?

If you're talking to camera, Rescroll — it designs from your actual frame and keeps graphics clear of your face and the app buttons. If the whole video is animation with no speaker, Hera.

Can I use Hera and Rescroll together?

Yes. Some creators use Hera for standalone pieces like intros or animated title cards and Rescroll for the graphics on their talking-head videos.

Does Rescroll have templates like Hera?

No. Each Rescroll graphic is designed from scratch for its moment, from your description and whatever you attach. For consistency across videos, attach the same references — your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style — each time.
