AI motion graphics: describe the clip, edit the result

Updated September 18, 20262 min read

Can you generate a motion graphic from a text description and still edit it afterwards?

Yes, when the AI writes a scene rather than a video. You describe the clip, the model composes layers of text, shapes, icons and your own images with real keyframes, and the result opens in the editor where every layer, colour and timing is still yours to change. Nothing is baked into pixels until you export.

Most AI video tools hand you a finished file. If the headline is wrong or the brand colour is off, you prompt again and hope. That is fine for a mood film and useless for client work, where the third revision is the normal case. Generating an editable scene instead of a rendered clip keeps the speed of a prompt and the control of a timeline.

Five ai scenes presets to start from

Hover any card to play it. Opening one loads it in the editor with every control unlocked.

Headline Pop
5s
A headline lands letter by letter over soft shapes, with a subtitle easing in under it. A starting point the AI can rewrite from your description.
Feature Trio
6s
Three icon cards rise in sequence under a heading, the shape most product explainers need. Ask the AI for your own features and wording.
Stat Burst
5s
A headline number pops inside expanding rings with a caption beneath. Tell the AI your metric and it rebuilds the scene around it.
Logo Sting
4s
A rotating tile settles behind a mark while the wordmark fades up. A short end card the AI can retune to your brand.
Quote Card
6s
A testimonial sets word by word on a dark card with an attribution line. Hand the AI a real quote and it recomposes the card.

All ai scenes

Which format should you export?

MP4 at 16:9 for landing pages and YouTube, 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. WebM with alpha when the generated scene has to sit over your own footage.

Format: MP4 · WebM · PNG sequence
Alpha: WebM or PNG sequence
Resolution: 720p to 8K
Aspect: 16:9 · 9:16 · 1:1 · 4:5
License: Commercial use included

Three tips that make it look intentional

Say what the clip is for, not how to animate it. Purpose, headline, brand colours and mood give the model more to work with than a list of easing curves.
Name the words you want on screen. Quoted text is used verbatim, so the headline is never paraphrased.
Generate once, then refine in the editor. Fixing one colour by hand is faster and cheaper than a second generation.

Three things people get wrong

Prompting for a whole video. One clip with one idea generates well; a thirty second multi-scene story does not.
Leaving the defaults on brand-critical values. Check the hex codes and the font against your brand sheet before exporting.
Expecting footage. The scene is drawn from vectors, text and the images you upload, so it will not invent photography for you.

Frequently asked

Is the generated clip editable?

Fully. The AI produces a scene of layers and keyframes that the normal editor renders, so you can retime, recolour, retype and re-export it like any other clip in the library.

Do I need an API key?

No. Generation runs on our hosted model by default. You can switch to your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini key in the Generate panel if you would rather use your own account.

Backgrounds / VFX
VFX overlays: smoke, fire and lightning you can recolour
Use a generated VFX element on a transparent or black background and composite it over your shot. Because the element is procedural, you set its colour, density, direction and timing before export, so the smoke drifts the way your scene needs and the fire matches your grade instead of fighting it.

How to sell motion graphics on stock footage sites
Pick a marketplace and pass its review, produce clips that answer briefs rather than showcase technique, submit each one with a title, description and keyword list, and build a catalogue rather than a portfolio. Income comes from coverage over time, not from any single upload.

Keywording stock video: what marketplaces actually match on
Describe the literal content first, then the attributes a buyer filters by (colour, orientation, duration, transparency, format), and only then the mood or style words. Search engines match on what is in the frame far more reliably than on how the clip feels.
