Working on now

In progress

Even better results

We’re focused on making every video look and feel higher quality, with sharper visuals, smoother motion, and more polished output on the first try.

Exploring

A smarter, budget-friendly model

We’re testing a new, more affordable Miltos model that stays just as smart, so great results cost you less.

New

Make a video about this week’s news

Ask for a video about something happening right now and MotionVid searches the web first, then writes the script from what it finds.

  • Ask for this week and get this week
  • Real headlines, real dates, real sources
  • Name a brand, no link needed
New

See what every edit costs, as it happens

Every turn in the editor now carries its own credit counter, climbing while the AI works and settling on the final number when it lands. You can watch what an edit is costing while it runs, and stop it if it is going further than you wanted.

  • A running credit count on each turn, updating as the AI works
  • Keeps counting right through long clip generations, not just at the end
  • The final number stays on the turn, so you can scroll back and see what any edit cost
NewAPIPlans with API access

One-click MCP installs and a new developer home at /api

Developers now have a proper front door at motionvid.ai/api. Pick your client and get its exact setup, then connect Cursor or VS Code with a single click and start generating videos from your agent or your own code.

  • Add MotionVid to Cursor or VS Code with one click, no config files
  • VS Code joins Claude, Claude Code and Cursor as a supported MCP client
  • A client picker on the landing page and /api shows the setup for your tool, not a generic one
  • Videos made through the API or MCP now carry a "Made with" badge in the Discover feed
New

Discover: an endless feed of what people are making

A new full screen feed at /discover, one video per screen, starting with the latest projects people have published. Every clip shows the prompt behind it, so you can see exactly how it was made and pick up its style in a click.

  • Scroll straight through the newest work, then keep going into our own hand picked examples
  • See the prompt behind any video, then reuse its style in your next project with one tap
  • Share a link to any single clip and it opens right on that video
Improved

Add reference images in bulk

Attaching references is no longer one image at a time. Pick as many files as you like in a single trip to the upload dialog, or tick several images you have already uploaded and add the whole set at once.

  • Select multiple files in one go instead of reopening the picker for each one
  • Tick images from your library and add them together with one click
  • Shift-click to grab a whole run of images at once
  • Works everywhere you attach references, for images and video
Fixed

Text renders correctly in every language

Accented and non-Latin letters now render in the font you picked, everywhere. Turkish, Polish, Czech, Romanian, Hungarian, Vietnamese, Greek and Cyrillic text stays in one consistent typeface across the editor and the finished video.

  • Characters like İ, Ğ, Ş, ł, ř and ó keep the same font as the rest of the word
  • Headlines, captions and text layers all covered
  • What you see in the editor is what lands in the export
NewAPIPlans with API access

Edit your videos from the API, just describe the change

Finished videos are no longer final. Send a plain-language instruction ("swap the logo", "shorten the intro", "fix the map in scene 2") and the same AI editor behind the app applies it to your existing video, keeping everything that was already right. Works from the REST API and from AI assistants like Claude connected through MCP.

  • One instruction changes only what you name, the rest of the video stays untouched
  • Edits cost a fraction of a rebuild, billed only for what actually gets regenerated
  • Attach images to an edit with a role: put them in the video, or use them as style inspiration only
  • New render tool turns any finished video into a fresh MP4 on demand, at any size
Improved

Map scenes look right in every video shape

Maps with city pins now match your video exactly, whether it is landscape, portrait, or square. Coastlines keep their true proportions and every pin lands precisely on its city, in any format you publish.

Improved

Smoother playback in the editor

Zoom and pan effects now play back fluidly in the editor preview. Effects ramp in and out without interrupting playback, so what you scrub is what you ship.

  • Zoom effects glide in and out with no stutters or pauses
  • Playback stays responsive while the AI is still working on your video
  • Dragging a zoom focus point updates the canvas in real time
NewImproved

Your characters stay the same, scene after scene

AI Video now casts your story before it films it. You see a portrait of every character and approve the look before a single clip is made, and those same faces carry through the whole video. Films also run up to two minutes now, with every shot directed like real camera work.

  • Approve your cast up front: one portrait per character, restyle or reprompt anyone before generation starts
  • The same faces, outfits, and styling hold from the first scene to the last
  • AI Video films now run up to two minutes, paced across every scene
  • Drop in a reference video and pick what to borrow from it: its look, or its script
New

Pick how you create: four new starting modes

The composer now opens with four clear ways to start: AI Video, Motion Graphics, Single Graphic, and Edit My Video. Each mode shows its own animation styles and sets everything up for you, so you get the right kind of video without touching a single setting.

  • AI Video builds your entire video from cinematic AI footage in a style you pick
  • Storyboard first on AI Video: approve a still image for every scene, and reprompt or restyle any frame, before a single clip is generated
  • Matching animation styles appear right under each mode, with one tap to browse them all
  • Edit My Video takes your own footage and lets the AI add graphics and polish on top
Improved

More reliable animation for realistic characters

Photo-real, lifelike characters now animate more dependably on Animora Pro. We automatically route these portraits to the best engine behind the scenes, so more of your image-to-video generations finish on the first try.

  • Lifelike, true-to-life character portraits animate more reliably
  • Automatic behind-the-scenes handling means fewer interrupted generations
NewUltimate, Creator, and AppSumo Tier 4+

  • Uploaded videos preview right away instead of making you wait
  • One-click credits and support options if you go to cancel
Fixed

The AI now adds all your overlays, not just a few

When editing an uploaded video, the AI sometimes stopped after placing just two or three graphics. It now adds overlays throughout, wherever they belong, like stats, quotes, intros, and chapters.

New

  • Unlimited exports and background removals on Pro and up
  • Unlimited upscales on Ultimate
  • 15% bonus credits on yearly plans
NewImproved

  • Choose how a clip fits its frame (fill or fit) without unexpected cropping
  • Swedish language support
Fixed

Music now covers your whole video

The AI soundtrack could stop a few seconds before the last scene. It now always stretches to cover the full length of your video.

NewImproved

Bespoke AI music + talking-head clips

Every project can score itself with a custom AI soundtrack, talking-head clips keep their voice, and videos featuring real people are handled with extra care.

  • A custom AI soundtrack, chosen to match your video and sized to fit
  • Talking-head clips keep their spoken audio
  • Videos featuring real faces use a model tuned to keep them looking right
