What it does
Procedural 2D motion software for scalable animation systems and data-driven visuals.
Detailed overview
Cavalry turns repetitive, system-heavy motion work into something scalable instead of hand-keyframed misery. Procedural, data-driven animation is the core, not a plugin bolted onto a legacy timeline. Most motion designers still think in After Effects terms, so they miss the cleaner systems-based workflow, a gap Cavalry fills for motion designers, broadcast teams, and data-animation artists. It's very much alive and being pushed harder: the site says it's free for individuals and built for real-time motion design, Canva announced its acquisition on 23 Feb 2026, and made it free for anyone with a Canva account in Apr 2026.
