Motn.ai is a visual canvas where you prompt animations and get back code, not flat video you can't touch. It's faster, more playful, and more visual than coding in an IDE. Just start jamming with vibe motion. Use images, videos, 3D, connect brand colors and fonts, generate images and video, and iterate by saying "make it slower". Compare variants side by side, pick the strongest, export as code or MP4. Drop it into Framer, Lovable, or any React site. No keyframes. Just ship.
Hey Product Hunt community 👋
Tim here. I’m a designer with 20+ years of experience, and I’ve never been as excited as I’ve been over the last year. I strongly believe we’re entering a moment where everyone can become a builder, and I’ve always wanted to be a creative builder.
I love using Cursor and Claude for my projects, but I also believe the creative mind works differently inside an IDE versus on an open canvas. That’s why I teamed up with my longtime friend Oleg — a creative designer and developer — to build motn.ai, a tool designed to unleash a creative potential for coders, designers, and marketers.
Our idea is simple: in an era where anyone can build a product from a prompt, brand positioning, high-quality design, and animation have never been more important. If you want to truly differentiate your product, you need to invest more in those visual layers. And in our opinion, the best surface for that kind of work is an infinite canvas.
Unlike many GenAI canvases on the market, we decided to focus on code motion first. We wanted to explore what becomes possible when motion graphics are code-native: it can be interactive, it's sharp, readable, editable, easy to iterate on, and easy to remix. It's also dramatically faster and cheaper to produce than GenAI video in many cases.
We wanted to create a tool that inspires people to experiment more, push boundaries, and worry less about the technical side behind it.
Motn is currently in beta, and we have a ton of plans for how to improve it — but first, we need your feedback. We’re investing heavily in making animation quality better by default, even with the same prompt. We’re expanding support for more libraries, so you won’t need to install anything. And we’re adding more templates and examples, so each project can spark new ideas.
Some of the use cases we already see:
— kinetic typography
— WebGL animations and creative shaders
— powerful particle systems
— UI animations
— scaling social media content pipelines
— combining GenAI video backgrounds with text, particles, UI, and other flexible code-based layers
— and much more
For example, if you want to show shadcn UI on your website, we already have components pre-installed. You can just describe scene by scene what you want to animate, then combine everything together on the canvas.
Anything you create can be exported as code or as a video file.
For the Product Hunt community, we’re offering 2x free tokens for all newly signed-up users, plus 50% off for all paid users.
We’ve just getting started, and we hope Motn inspires you as much as it inspires us.
