I plan to create a simple motion graphics software for macOS that animates text, basic shapes, and handles audio. I'll use SwiftUI for the UI.
What are the commonly used technologies for rendering animated graphics? Core Animation is suitable for UI animations but not for exporting and controlling UI animations.
Basic requirements:
- Timeline user interface
- Animation of text and basic shapes
- Viewer in SwiftUI GUI with transport control (play, pause, scrub, …)
- Export to video file
Is Metal or Core Graphics typically used directly? I want to keep it as simple as possible.
