MotionForge

Motion design for AI agents · MCP server · Open source

📐 Architecture · Oct 1

  • Render engine choice (Remotion), preset-based JSON DSL, versioned libraries, MCP tools

  • Segment cache that only re-renders changed scenes, live dashboard and visual editor
  • Data viz, simulations, three.js 3D with transparent images, real interface capture, music analysis

🎞️ Exam videos

  • A 104-second showreel built only through MCP calls, fixing three engine bugs on the way
  • A 55-second explainer: 76% fewer characters than hand-written Remotion, 59–65% faster re-renders

🌐 Open source · Oct 3

  • Published on GitHub under MIT, CI on Linux, macOS and Windows
  • 304 files, about 17,000 lines of TypeScript
