A 4-step workflow for using Astra to generate product motion design animations
nickbaumann_ · x · 2026-09-17
nickbaumann shares the team's four-step workflow for generating product motion design with Astra:
- Give it codebase access so animations reference real components.
- Dictate the progression and ask for an "abstraction" rather than a literal product replica.
- Have Astra generate image mockup stills of the animation first.
- Give feedback, then let it run — it uses the stills as references.
He notes everyone on their DX team now follows a pattern like this.
