About

EffectCraft is a node-based visual-effects (VFX) and motion-graphics application for creating procedural effects and compositing work. Artists can connect effect nodes, arrange layers, adjust parameters, and preview output in a graph editor. The application supports 2D compositing and motion-graphics workflows, with timeline and keyframe controls, reusable effects and templates, and project rendering and export. EffectCraft offers a browser build as well as downloadable desktop builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux; its processing is designed to run on the user's machine rather than through a hosted rendering service. It is aimed at independent creators, motion designers, video editors, and VFX artists exploring node-based workflows. A JSON control interface and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enable compatible tools to interact with the application. The project is described as alpha-stage software, so features and workflows may change between releases.

About

Graphite is a free, open source alpha-stage vector and raster graphics editor that delivers a fully nondestructive editing workflow by combining layer-based compositing with a node-based procedural design engine. Starting life as a vector editor, Graphite has evolved into an all-in-one graphics toolbox built more like a game engine than a traditional creative app, wrapping its Rust-powered Graphene core in user-friendly tools for vector art, raster image editing, animation, page layout, motion graphics, and VFX compositing. Its hybrid editing paradigm uses a permanent node graph under the hood, enabling infinite scalability of effects such as boolean operations, procedural polka-dot patterns, and Mandelbrot fractals, while presenting artists with intuitive layer stacks and node-based layers. Available today as a lightweight offline web app, Graphite supports non-destructive workflows for magazine spreads, technical illustrations, and generative designs.
