MotionVid
MotionVid turns a text prompt into a finished animated video with narration, music, and captions. You describe the story, and it plans multi-scene motion graphics or AI-directed footage you can tweak on a timeline. It targets creators, educators, and SaaS teams who need explainers, data videos, or social clips without opening After Effects.
Most AI video tools spit out a single clip you cannot easily re-edit. MotionVid treats each project like a mini production: scenes sit on a timeline, you refine through chat or by hand, and you can layer graphics over your own footage in Edit My Video mode. The template library mirrors styles from Johnny Harris, Vox, and Kurzgesagt rather than generic stock motion.
YouTube creators use it for map animations, character explainers, and title sequences. Product teams turn screenshots into demo walkthroughs, and educators build narrated lessons that export in both 16:9 and vertical 9:16. Four starting modes let you pick motion graphics, cinematic AI footage, a single animated scene, or graphics layered on uploaded footage.

What resolution can MotionVid export?
MotionVid exports depend on your plan. Basic caps at 1080p, Pro reaches 4K infographics, Ultimate handles 4K video and infographics, and Creator supports up to 8K infographic exports. The motion-graphics page also notes exports ship without a watermark.
Can MotionVid edit footage I already filmed?
Yes. MotionVid's Edit My Video mode lets you upload a clip and layer AI motion graphics, captions, and lower-thirds on a timeline. The changelog describes driving edits through chat while keeping cuts and overlays in sync.
How do MotionVid credits work?
MotionVid bills generation in credits that refresh each billing cycle. Miltos 5.0 video runs about 10 credits per generation, while infographic images cost 3 credits each. Unused subscription credits do not roll over, but you can buy one-time credit packs if you run out.
What animation styles does MotionVid support?
MotionVid supports storytelling cut-outs, map animations, character explainers, 3D battle maps, title animations, and sketch documentary styles from the homepage. The templates library also includes charts, dashboards, typography, and editorial intros you can open and remix.
