What Sclera is
Sclera is a browser-based 2D animation studio for creating projects from scenes, layers, and a timeline. Its timeline supports layer editing, folders, audio tracks, scrubbing, snapping, and looping. Motion tweens can use paths or move without them, while shape tweens connect keyframes with timing and easing controls. The editor provides vector path drawing with a pen tool, anchor points, and bezier handles. Projects can contain multiple scenes and save automatically while you work. Scenes support animated virtual cameras, including multiple cameras, and reusable symbols that can be updated across scenes. Audio can be imported, and finished work can be exported directly from the browser as MP4, WebM, or a PNG sequence. AI Director accepts motion descriptions for selected objects, although the FAQ says it remains in development. Sclera runs on the web and offers a Free plan at no cost during the public beta, with no credit card required. Pro costs $15 a month and includes unlimited projects and scenes.
