Fabric for motion design agencies

Motion design agencies manage massive reference libraries: inspiration videos, storyboards, style frames, colour scripts, client mood boards, and animation test renders. The reference that would nail the creative direction is somewhere in a YouTube playlist, a Pinterest board, a Vimeo save, or a client email. Finding it means opening four tools and hoping you recognise what you're looking for. Meanwhile, client feedback on animation timing and transitions arrives via email, Slack, and Loom, disconnected from the frames being discussed.

Fabric keeps your entire reference library and client communication searchable in one workspace. Find references by visual style, search client feedback by meaning, and keep storyboards connected to the final deliverables they inform.

Visual search across your reference library

AI search finds references by visual style, mood, and description. "The reference with the liquid motion transition" finds it. "Everything with a neon colour palette" finds the set. Similar search lets you drop in a frame and find visually related references across your entire library. Save reference videos from YouTube and Vimeo with the web clipper, transcribed and searchable via audio and video transcription.

The explorer surfaces visual connections across your library. Browse by mood, colour, and motion style rather than by folder or date saved.

Storyboards and style frames connected to feedback

Annotations let clients pin feedback to exact frames. Draw on style frames to mark timing or transition notes. Leave timestamped comments on animation tests and renders. The feedback is attached to the work, not lost in email. Forward email feedback to email-to-note. Record feedback calls with AI voice notes.

Arrange storyboard frames, reference videos, and mood references on the canvas with live video embeds. Build pitch boards and creative direction presentations for clients. Real-time collaboration means the team works on the same surface.

Polished sharing with tracking

Publish style frames, animatics, and final renders with password protection and link analytics. Track who's reviewed the work and how long they spent. Update the file and the link serves the current version.

Self-writing project docs and agents

Self-writing docs maintain client trackers and decision logs from your meetings and Slack. Agents compile weekly project summaries and flag approaching deadlines.
