Balls circulate between an inner and outer race, orbiting slower than the shaft that drives them and spinning hard on their own axes.

A roller chain runs a large sprocket against a small one, every roller seated on a tooth, the small wheel spinning faster for the teeth it gives up.

Every control in the editor, grouped the same way there. Style: background, primary, secondary, accent and thickness. Layout: aspect ratio and count. Motion: duration and speed. Each change appears in the live preview straight away, and editing is free.
Chain and Sprocket Drive runs 10 seconds by default, and you can set any length up to 20 seconds before you export. It loops seamlessly, so you can repeat it on your timeline for as long as the shot needs.
Yes. Set the background to Transparent and export WebM with a VP9 alpha channel, then put it on a track above your footage. If your editor does not decode WebM alpha, transcode it once to an alpha codec it supports. MP4 has no alpha channel, so it keeps a solid color or image behind the animation.
Yes. Each download comes with a perpetual commercial license in your name for client work, ads and products, and you may sell the edited clip on stock footage sites. Reselling the preset itself as an editable template is not allowed.

The escape wheel releases one tooth at a time as the pallet fork rocks, and the balance wheel winds its hairspring back and forth to keep the beat.
Cut gears mesh tooth for tooth along a zig-zag shaft line, each wheel turning the other way at the ratio its tooth count demands.
A cutaway engine runs its pistons up and down on a shared crankshaft, each cylinder firing a beat behind the last in a proper firing order.
Mixed balls lift out of the jumbled tubes one by one, arc over the row and drop into the empty tube that matches their colour, then scatter back to start.
Blocks ride a segmented belt past a row of pushers, each one punching its own colour down a drop hole, and the bins below rise as they fill.
A line of dominoes topples along a rolling ground line, each tile tipping into the next, and stands itself back up behind the wave.
A bank of cams on one shaft lifts a row of rods slightly out of step, so their tips carry a smooth wave along the machine and back again.
