Click Motion stands out for keeping its changes contained: it only clears the curves it created, so it works alongside existing animation. Released under the GPL license and compatible with Blender 3.6 and up, running on Cycles and Eevee.
Click Motion is a Blender add-on built for fast motion design workflows, applying versatile object animation presets to selected objects. It groups presets into motion (Slide X, Y, Z, Bounce, Float, Shake), rotation (Turn X, Y, Z, Spin, Sway, Wiggle), and scale and FX (Grow, Pulse, Pop, Blink, Strobe FX). An Auto Animate feature offers Balanced, Chaos, and Cinematic modes.
Smart controls include a precise speed slider for fine timing, delay in frames for multi-object timing, and loop modes for repeating or ping-pong motion. A seed control gives repeatable Auto Animate variation, and panel hints explain speed, delay, and seed directly in the UI.
The recommended workflow is to select one or more objects in the View3D area, position the timeline where the animation should begin, configure speed, loop, curve style, object delay, and variation seed, then apply a single preset or press Auto Animate. Curves can be removed with Clear ClickMotion Animation. Built to work safely with existing animation, the add-on only clears curves it created itself.
Click Motion is best for blender artists applying quick, preset-based object animation in motion design workflows.
Click Motion is completely free to download and use.
Click Motion is compatible with Blender 3.6 and up, with support listed across versions 3.6 through 5.1. It works with both the Cycles and Eevee render engines. If you're on a Blender release older than 3.6, the add-on isn't listed as compatible, so upgrading would be the path forward. For the current compatibility range and any newer version notes, the developer's page is the place to confirm before you install.
Click Motion installs through Blender's standard add-on flow: open Edit > Preferences > Add-ons, click Install from Disk, select the zip containing clickmotion, then enable ClickMotion. Once enabled, its panel lives in the View3D Sidebar (the N-Panel) under a ClickMotion tab. From there you can select objects, position the timeline, and start applying presets. The steps follow the same pattern as most Blender add-ons, and no extra dependencies are called out in the installation instructions.
Click Motion places its interface in the View3D Sidebar, reachable through the N-Panel under the ClickMotion tab. The panel includes hints that explain speed, delay, and seed directly in the UI. To use it, select one or more objects in the View3D area, position the timeline to the frame where the animation should begin, configure the speed, loop, curve style, object delay, and variation seed, then apply a single preset or press Auto Animate. Unwanted curves can be removed with the Clear ClickMotion Animation option.
Click Motion is built to work safely with existing animation. The add-on only clears curves that it created itself, so keyframes you've already set up on your objects stay intact. If you want to undo motion that Click Motion added, the Clear ClickMotion Animation option removes those curves specifically. This scoped clearing is what the developer describes as production safe, keeping the add-on's changes separate from the rest of your scene's keyframes.
Click Motion is listed as free in this catalog. It's distributed under the GPL license, in line with Blender's add-on ecosystem. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so for the current terms and any purchase details it's best to check the developer's page directly before you download. That page is also where you'll find the latest version and compatibility information straight from pl_workshop.
