You need motion graphics, not characters: a title, a stat, a lower third, a logo reveal or an overlay for a video you're already making, and a yearly contract doesn't make sense for it.
You liked the idea of Motionity, a free motion design tool in the browser with no account, and want one that's still updated, exports MP4 and transparent WebM, and has templates to start from.
