framechart for Motion Designers

framechart produces natively GPU-rendered animated data charts — with bloom, glow, and motion blur effects — directly inside your DaVinci Resolve timeline, from CSV data, without the hours of manual keyframing required in After Effects. Need it in AE or Premiere? Render the chart in Resolve as ProRes 4444 with alpha and import that file.

For motion designers who regularly handle client data chart requests, framechart is the fastest path from spreadsheet to production-ready animated chart clip — freeing time for higher-value design work. Free with a watermark; $19/month or a one-time $99 removes it.

Pain Points Motion Designers Face

Manual CSV chart animation in AE takes 2-4 hours

→ framechart: minutes. Drop the effect on a clip, point it at your CSV, pick a template. The data-driven animation is automatic — no keyframe by keyframe work.

Client wants changes to the data after delivery

→ Swap in the updated CSV and it re-renders live. The same template settings apply to the new data. Revisions take minutes instead of hours.

Client needs deliverables for After Effects, not DaVinci Resolve

→ Render the chart in Resolve as ProRes 4444 with Export Alpha enabled, then import that file into AE as a footage layer with full alpha — no Dynamic Link required.

Rendering Quality

framechart's render engine is built on wgpu — a native GPU library used in modern game engines and creative tools, running on Vulkan, Metal, and DirectX 12. For animated data charts, this enables post-processing effects that standard canvas or SVG chart libraries cannot produce.

Bloom & glow

Cinematic templates include bloom and glow post-processing on bar and line elements.

Motion blur

Native GPU motion blur on animated elements produces smooth, film-quality motion.

Anti-aliasing

Full-scene anti-aliasing for sharp edges at all resolutions including 4K.

Custom colors

Set bars, labels, and template elements to specific hex values for brand matching.

Compositing Workflow

1. Drop the framechart effect on a clip in Resolve. Point it at the client CSV, select chart type, template, and aspect ratio.
2. Pick a Clean template variant for a transparent background — it composites live in the timeline, no export needed for Resolve deliverables.
3. For After Effects: render from Resolve as ProRes 4444 with Export Alpha enabled, then import into AE (File → Import → Footage) as a layer with full alpha.
4. Layer with other motion graphics elements in AE. Adjust timing, add additional effects if needed.
5. Render final composite from AE as ProRes or H.264 for client delivery.

The same ProRes 4444 render imports equally well into Premiere Pro if the client's workflow is Adobe-based rather than AE-specific.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get framechart charts into After Effects?

Render the chart in DaVinci Resolve as ProRes 4444 with Export Alpha enabled, then import that file into After Effects as a footage layer with a full alpha channel. Layer with other AE elements for compositing.

Does framechart support custom brand colors?

Yes — custom template colors are built in: change bar fill, label color, and other template elements to match client brand guidelines.

How does framechart's rendering compare to After Effects quality?

For animated data charts specifically, framechart's native GPU rendering with bloom and motion blur produces output visually comparable to AE renders. The cinematic dark template particularly benefits from that post-processing.

Can I use framechart for client deliverables in DaVinci Resolve?

Yes — that's its native environment. The chart renders live in your timeline; deliver the finished Resolve render directly, no AE license required at all.
