TOP STORY
♾️ Jitter releases “Infinite Canvas”

This week, Jitter released “Infinite Canvas,” allowing users to create multiple motion design “artboards” in one file on a “Figma-like” infinite canvas.

For example: if you’re creating an animated ad that needs to work in both horizontal (for YouTube) and vertical (for Instagram Stories) formats.

On the infinite canvas, you set up two artboards:

  • One horizontal artboard for the YouTube ad (e.g., 1920x1080 pixels).

  • One vertical artboard for the Instagram Story (e.g., 1080x1920 pixels).

  • You design and animate both versions side by side, reusing assets like text, logos, or characters.

The infinite canvas lets you see both animations in real time, making it easy to sync timing, adjust transitions, and ensure consistency across formats—all in one seamless workspace.

You can try “Infinite Canvas” for free, today.
