How to animate your logo one element at a time
Upload the logo and tell Vizard Agent what the business does. Vizard Agent segments the mark into its individual colour layers, checks every mask by eye, rebuilds them cleanly at full size, and animates each element separately so the logo assembles itself rather than simply fading in.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Say what the brand is, not what the animation should look like. Vizard Agent picks motion that fits the business, such as a courier icon that moves or a clock that turns, and describing the sector gets you further than describing an effect. You don't need the original design file, because a flat image works.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
A logo that fades in looks like nobody animated it. One whose parts arrive separately looks designed, and getting there means taking a flat image apart into pieces that can move independently. Most of the work is separation and inspection, with every mask checked before anything is allowed to move. In the session behind this article it:
- Looked at the logo, checked the workspace and playbook, then downloaded the logo and sampled its colours and typefaces.
- Segmented it into colour layers for the courier, the clock, the banner and the accent, and checked every layer mask by eye, one at a time.
- Extracted anti-aliased versions of each layer so the edges stayed smooth, and checked each one individually, including the speed lines and the wordmark.
- Checked the assembled reconstruction against the original mark, rebuilt clean, aligned layers at full size and previewed the assembly.
- Verified each element on the full canvas, then animated the layers independently into a square 1080x1080 sting of 7 seconds with sound underneath.
When does this not work well?
Everything depends on the elements being separable from the image you upload, and flat artwork doesn't always come apart cleanly. A gradient that blends across elements makes them one element, overlapping shapes share pixels, and a mark containing a photograph stays whole. Low-resolution logos show every rough edge once they move, and hairline details sometimes don't survive the cut.
Common questions
Do I need the vector file? No. Vizard Agent separates the elements from a flat image such as a PNG or a JPEG.
Can I control the build order? Yes. Say which element should arrive first and Vizard Agent sequences them accordingly.
What if my logo is a single flat shape? Then there is little to separate. Vizard Agent will say so rather than inventing elements.
