I used to spend hours in Adobe After Effects just to get one notification to drop from the top of the screen with the right easing. Changing one word of text meant redoing the keyframes. You can now generate that same notification with AI motion graphics tools.
How to Create a UI Notification Animation with Easymotion
With Easymotion, you can skip the timeline entirely. You do not have to key the easing or redo the text by hand. Here is exactly how to generate your notification.
1Open the Studio
First, navigate to Easymotion in your web browser and click the "Start Creating" button. You will be prompted to log in or sign up for a free account. Once logged in, you will enter the main studio interface.
2Enter Your Prompt
You have two options to create your push notification animation. You can browse the template library to find a pre-made notification style, or you can describe what you want in the prompt box. For example, type: "Create an iPhone message notification on a light gray background that grows out of the Dynamic Island. Show Claire Donovan with a Messages icon, the text Okay, sounds like a plan, and 8m ago."
AI Motion Graphics Generator
Describe your motion graphics idea. Add a design reference if you'd like it to be recreated.

To show your own app icon, click the paperclip, choose Add Images, and attach the icon. Easymotion puts it in the notification.
3Customize Using AI Chat
Once your base animation generates, you can adjust the details using the AI chat panel located on the left side of the screen. Just type commands directly into the chat. For example, type: "Change it to a food delivery alert from Joe's Artisanal Pizza. Show On the way with Marcus R. on an E-Bike, then open it into a card with a 4 mins arrival and a dark map of his route." The system updates your video automatically.

4Export Your Animation
When you are happy with the result, click the Export button in the top right corner and select the MP4 format for a standard video file. To overlay this notification onto another video, make the background transparent first: ask the chat for a transparent background, or press the checkerboard button on the background color in Quick Edit. When the preview shows a checkerboard, export in the MOV format and drop the file into Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
Copy-Paste Prompts for Your Animation
Paste one into the prompt box in Easymotion, then change the details to fit your video.
Prompt 1: iPhone Message
Prompt 2: Banner Notification
Prompt 3: Vertical Notification
Adobe After Effects vs AI Motion Graphics
A notification used to mean easing curves and text layers keyed by hand. Here is how that work compares to Easymotion in 2026.
| Aspect | Adobe After Effects | Easymotion |
|---|---|---|
| Time to Create | Hours for one notification | Under 60 seconds |
| Skill Required | Easing curves and text layers keyed by hand | No design skills needed |
| Cost | A Creative Cloud subscription | Plans start at $10/month (free plan for template editing) |
| Learning Curve | Weeks to match the iPhone motion | Instant text prompts |
| Export Options | A manual render after every text change | One-click MP4 or transparent MOV |
