Hera
An AI canvas that generates images, designs and short animations as editable layers
2.4

About
Hera (hera.video) calls itself an AI-native creative canvas. You generate images, design and animate on one board. You can direct several AI agents at the same time, and every result comes back as editable layers, like a design file. You drop in a reference or brief an agent, get several drafts to compare, then turn one into a layered design and animate it. Homepage examples are short marketing pieces: three 9:16 ads with a 9-second animation, and a 16:9 launch film built from styleframes and a storyboard using a brand kit. Hera is backed by Y Combinator and lists Autodesk, Dropbox, Reddit, Logitech, Stanford University and several news publishers among the companies that trust it. Its evidence does not describe scripting, narration, stock footage, music or long-form YouTube videos.
Ideal for
Marketing and design teams that want short AI-generated motion graphics, animated ads and launch films they can adjust layer by layer, not a finished long-form YouTube video.
What it does well
Generates images, designs and animations on one canvas, so a draft can become a layered design and then an animation without leaving the board
Every generation comes as editable layers, like a design file, with layers such as headline, button, logo and background
Lets you direct multiple AI agents at the same time
Produces several drafts per brief to compare and iterate on (the homepage example draws three drafts)
Works from a dropped-in reference or a brand kit (example: a launch film in torn paper collage style from the brand kit)
Homepage examples cover vertical 9:16 ads and a 16:9 launch film with styleframes and a storyboard

You brief AI agents by prompt (e.g. "Make the first one a design", "Animate it"). Reviewers report it cannot make simple swaps.
Yes, 5–50 by plan
Limited
A brand kit is referenced in a homepage example; per-channel profiles are not stated.
In-app chat, 24 hours on weekdays, plus a Discord community
Email; a reviewer reports three emails went unanswered
A finished 6 to 60 minute video from one brief
Research, script, voiceover, footage, editing, music, captions and thumbnail come in one charge. Hera's homepage examples are short pieces, such as a 9-second animation, and it states no long-form lengths.
Motion graphics in a finished edit, $1.06 to $1.58 a minute
Mini + Medium builds a finished long-form video from images and motion graphics. Hera returns a short animated design or ad as layers you still edit, so its price buys a different thing than a finished minute of video.
Licensed Storyblocks footage on Pro models
Pro models blend licensed Storyblocks video B-roll with motion graphics. Each Brand Profile can block or prefer specific channels and sites, with up to 30 blocked links. Hera mentions no footage source.
A quote before any credit is spent
The Quote Statement shows format, length, language, model, voice, Brand Profile and estimated credits for you to approve. Credits are charged only when a video finishes, based on its final length.
A timeline editor and the Rush Agent for fixes
Output gets you about 80% of the way there. Swap a clip on the timeline or ask the Rush Agent for a change in plain language, so a weak scene costs a fix, not a fresh generation.
Brand Profiles and seats for several channels
Brand Profiles save each channel's voice, look, style and footage rules, 5 to 50 by plan, with up to 15 team seats and up to 15 videos at a time.
Your founder on screen, or an AI presenter
Upload a talking-head recording and VidRush cuts dead air and filler, adds B-roll and captions. Or use an AI presenter (beta) and VidRush edits the full YouTube video around them.
Pros
Generates images, designs and animations on one canvas, so a draft becomes a layered design and then an animation
Every generation comes back as editable layers, such as headline, button, logo and background
Directs several AI agents at once and returns several drafts per brief to compare
Works from a dropped-in reference or a brand kit, with 9:16 ad and 16:9 launch film examples
Cons
Homepage examples are short marketing pieces, such as a 9-second animation; no long-form video lengths are stated
Results come as layers you adjust yourself, and no footage source is mentioned
Reviewers report the editor is hard to use and the text alignment button does not work
Reviewers report results that look amateur and an AI that cannot swap an icon for a picture
Reviewers report multi-screen animations process one screen at a time and a Figma integration that took over five minutes
Reviewers report being charged after cancelling and three support emails left unanswered
USE CASES
Faceless, talking-head or with an AI presenter: give VidRush a brief, a script or a recording and get the finished long-form video back.
Faceless documentary and explainer channels
Give VidRush a prompt about a history, true crime, science or news topic and get back a researched, narrated documentary with real footage, music, captions and a thumbnail.
See how it works
Top 10 and ranking videos
Ask for a top 10 or countdown in your prompt or script and VidRush structures the list, sizes the item count to the length and edits it into a finished video.
See how it works
Talking-head videos
Upload a recording of yourself talking to camera. VidRush cuts dead air and filler, layers B-roll and captions, and returns a finished edit.
See how it works
AI presenter videos without filming
Pick a VidRush avatar or build one from a photo of yourself. VidRush writes the script and edits a full video around the presenter.
See how it works
Avatar-hosted videos with Persona I
Give VidRush an avatar plus your script or voiceover. Persona I builds a presenter-led video up to 40 minutes, with a visual generated for every line.
See how it works
Videos from your own script
Paste a script you wrote elsewhere. VidRush narrates it, matches visuals to every line and assembles the video with your words unchanged.

It helped me monetize a channel in 1 month.
“So far, the vidrush videos went viral much faster and more often than the ones my editors did. AND, I created those videos in 1-2 hours, with minimal input on my end. Maybe I changed 1 or 2 scenes. The videos turn out very good.”

From zero to 3 monetized channels in 5 months
“In that short time I managed to monetize three YouTube channels. That's something I never would have pulled off so fast with a traditional setup. What used to take my team roughly four days to coordinate, scripting, editing, voiceover, finding the right footage, I can now get done in under 30 minutes.”

“My editors have been in panic mode since I started using vidrush. It makes great videos in a few hours and also create thumbnail for it. The editing is better than 70% of my editors.”
Osas King
· VidRush customer
Vidrush is for you if you want good quality videos fast
“With a few prompts or even your own custom script, you can get a video done in around a couple hours, versus possibly days with a normal video editor.”

World-Class Tool, World-Class Support
“VidRush has become the backbone of my entire production workflow. The voice quality, imagery, and video output are genuinely impressive, everything comes out looking and sounding professional without the hours of manual editing other tools require.”
Cam Conkle
· VidRush customer
Vidrush is Lifechanging
“Vidrush is insane, I've gotten multiple bangers and made my money back so early that every video afterwards is just playing with house money (one vid hit 1.3M views early on and I barely knew what I was doing back then).”
Gabby
· VidRush customer
“It only processes one screen at a time, which makes stitching six screens together incredibly tedious. The Figma integration is unusably slow — a single animation took over five minutes and kept loading.”

They keep charging me for no reason
“They have refunded me and I cancelled my subscription. Then they kept on charging me besides cancelling my subscription. I have written 3 emails to support and they ignore me.”
Jakub Papert
· Hera user
“Generating a nice visual and then editing it is an hassle. The editor window sucks and makes everything extremely difficult to edit. Text Alignment button doesn't work.”
Nicholas
· Hera user
This is so bad
“This is so bad, everything it creates looks like a 12 year old has done it on cap cut. It cant even change simple things like remove this icon and add this picture instead its really that bad”
