Abstract
Motion graphics videos offer a powerful means of communicating complex concepts through engaging visuals and animation. While filmmaking, marketing, or video games industries use these videos to tell compelling stories, others such as educators or domain experts face a steep learning curve. Creating even a short motion graphics video can be an arduous process that requires competency in scriptwriting, graphic design, animation, and skills in using various feature-rich software applications. We interviewed 19 casual and professional motion designers working on a range of motion graphics projects to understand their design processes and challenges. Our results reveal several difficulties that new motion designers face in getting started in the field and how they struggle to devise workarounds. We identify opportunities for HCI to lower entry barriers by designing user-centered tools that simplify the motion design process and incorporate example-based learning and collaborative approaches.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
