Jitter’s interface is clean and familiar — especially if you’ve used modern design software before.

  1. Canvas (center): This is where your artboards (or scenes) live. You can create multiple versions side by side and animate them independently.

  2. Toolbar (top): Add elements (like text, shapes, and media) and share or export your work.

  3. Layer list (left): Shows your artboards and the layers inside each one. You can rename, reorder, and group layers here.

  4. Property panel (right): Use the Design and Animate tabs to switch between creating your design and animating it.

  5. Timeline (bottom): When you select an artboard and switch to the Animate tab, this is where animations appear. Instead of complex keyframes, Jitter uses a straightforward event-based timeline that’s easy to follow.

Everything you do in Jitter updates in real time. Teammates can jump in, leave comments, or co-edit files seamlessly.
