Why We Use Butter for Motion Graphics

You made a cool graphic but it’s feeling a little…hmm… flat.

Design-wise, it’s 100% solid, but you kinda wish the type was floating… and ughh, if the images popped up one by one, the design would just be *chef’s kiss*. But the real question is: how do you add animation to graphics if you’re not an experienced motion designer?

Trust us, we’ve been there. Not all of our designers at ilovecreatives are After Effects pros, but this doesn’t stop us from adding motion to our design assets. After all, a little animation goes a long way when it comes to grabbing attention—especially in marketing materials. So, how do we do it?

Enter Butter. Ever heard of it? (and no, not the kind you spread on your bread 🙂‍↔️)

Butter is an all-in-one video editing tool that lets you incorporate impactful motion design in your designs with unmatched ease 🥞It’s accessible, easy, and sooo smooth. And guess what? They’ve just come off Beta, so you can sign up for a free trial today 👀 Our designers at ilovecreatives Studio have also created Butter templates you can customize for your own designs.

But before you melt away into a delicious pool of Butter, why not first hear why our designers love the tool? Here’s what they had to say 🧈:

“A true game changer to our Studio's workflow! I can swiftly create ads or content that'd normally take me hours in After Effects within minutes in Butter. The modular elements make it so easy to swap content, especially if you're working with multiple product SKUs. And, if you're ever feeling uninspired, their ever-growing template gallery is there to squash that creative block. Hint hint, sign up for their newsletter to get the updates!”

— Mindy

“Butter makes complex motion design easy through their plug-and-play templates that make creative assets POP in a landscape of boring static images. Their user friendly components make experimenting with animation a breeze without the stress of breaking anything or using complicated keyframes. It really feels like they've thought of everything.”

— Sarah

“Even basic motion graphics can take some time to get the hang of, but Butter makes it SUPER easy for me to create in just seconds (no joke). It's perfect for making standout social content or Reels just like that *snaps* PLUS tons of templates to choose from .”

— Charlene

“Butter is so good and SO easy to use. We use it all the time for making quick video assets and [the library] even helps with us ideating. It's one of the favorite apps of our entire team.”

— Puno

“Butter makes creating videos and motion better! Everything is plug-and-play but still inspires you to create something from scratch. Butter helps me execute social ads and content faster so I can spend more of my time coming up with new ideas.”

— James

“Butter is a video editor’s secret weapon. I always thought motion design was out of reach, but their simple and web-based interface proved me wrong. I can’t even imagine how many hours I’ve saved in my creative process since using Butter. It’s so refreshing to have a tool that moves as fast as my mind does!”

— Hannah

“Butter has totally changed the game for me, making it super easy to level up my projects and my editing. With its user-friendly features and powerful tools, it’s helped me create smoother, more professional content faster and more effectively.”

— Gina

Heard that? Complex motion design at your fingertips in a matter of minutes. And if you need to see it to believe it, take our social assets for example. Remember these posts on IG? Yup, motion powered by Butter.

Not every designer is going to have the time or resources to learn After Effects, and that’s totally okay, ‘cause Butter’s got your back 🙂‍↕️ (But if you do 👀, we’re teaching a Motion Design Course soon. Join the waitlist here!)
