AI Motion Graphics Generator Tutorial

What an AI motion graphics generator produces

An AI motion graphics generator creates short animated sequences from text prompts or still images. It focuses on moving graphic elements such as text, shapes, icons and backgrounds rather than full character acting or cinematic scenes.

How the models process motion under the hood

Flixly routes requests to models including Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0 and Veo 3.1. Each model converts a prompt into a latent representation, then applies temporal layers to predict frame-to-frame movement at 24 or 30 fps. Seedance 2.0 handles camera-style pans on static designs while Kling 3.0 adds particle effects and Veo 3.1 improves text legibility across frames.

Users select the model on the tool page before generation. Output length is capped at eight seconds for most plans to keep credit costs predictable.

Concrete inputs and file outputs

Accepted inputs include a text prompt of 40-120 characters, an optional reference image up to 2048 pixels wide, motion strength slider from 0.2 to 1.0, and duration in whole seconds. The system returns an MP4 file at 1080p or 720p with embedded audio track if music is enabled.

Motion Poster accepts the same reference image format but limits output to six seconds. Video Effects adds post-processing overlays after the base motion graphic is rendered.

Step-by-step generation workflow

1. Open the motion poster page and choose Seedance 2.0 from the model dropdown. This sets the temporal engine before any other settings.
2. Paste a prompt such as "rotating neon logo on dark grid background, slow camera orbit" and attach a 1024-pixel logo PNG if desired.
3. Set motion strength to 0.65 and duration to 6 seconds. Lower values reduce jitter while higher values increase speed.
4. Enable the music toggle and select a 15-second royalty-free loop from the library if the final clip needs sound.
5. Click generate and wait for the preview. The system shows the first frame plus a 2-second motion sample.
6. If text distorts, lower motion strength to 0.4 and regenerate. Each retry costs the same credit amount.
7. Download the MP4 once satisfied or send it directly to the shorts generator for caption addition.
8. Repeat with a new prompt on the same reference image to create a variation set for A/B testing.

Typical production workflow example

A marketing team needs five 6-second bumpers for a product launch. They start with one logo file and cycle through five text prompts on text to video as a fallback when motion poster credits run low. Finished clips move to the editor for color grade and export at 1080p.

Another case uses image to video to animate a static product shot into a rotating 3D-style view. The reference image is uploaded once and reused across three different motion prompts.

Where to start

Begin with the motion poster page, select Seedance 2.0, and run a single 4-second test using your own logo file.

FAQ

What credit cost should I expect for a 6-second motion graphic? Seedance 2.0 charges 9 credits for 6 seconds at 1080p while Kling 3.0 charges 11 credits for the same length and resolution.

Can I reuse the same reference image across multiple generations? Yes. Upload once and change only the text prompt. The system keeps the reference in cache for the current session.

How do I keep text readable during fast motion? Set motion strength below 0.5 and choose Veo 3.1. The model applies extra sharpening passes to typography layers.

What happens if my prompt exceeds 120 characters? The system truncates the prompt automatically and shows a warning. Shorter prompts often produce cleaner results anyway.

Does the output include an alpha channel for compositing? No. All exports are delivered as opaque MP4 files. Use external software if you need transparency.

Can I generate vertical 9:16 motion graphics? Yes. Change the aspect ratio selector before generation. The same models support 1080x1920 output without extra cost.
