About Autograph

Autograph is motion graphics and visual effects software from Maxon for 2D and 3D projects. It combines animation tools for shapes and text with compositing and VFX tools, and it is built around a GPU-powered engine. The source describes it as suitable for broadcast-ready graphics, animated logos, text, shapes, and transitions.

The source lists free access to Autograph. Access to Universe Plugins and Red Giant OFX tools requires a license, and the homepage notes that some features are no longer available for the time being after recent changes. Some tools have also been renamed, such as the Cloner, which was previously called the Instancer.
