Moto – a new AI video editor with editable prompt-to-motion graphics

Moto is an AI video editor that integrates generation directly into the timeline, allowing users to create, edit, and finish videos without switching tools. Features include prompt-to-motion graphics, an assistant for natural language edits, reusable sources, and a producer for first cuts. It supports multiple AI models and is currently in private beta with a free core editor.

moto — generate, edit, and finish in one timeline

Now in private beta

Generate, edit, and finish

in one timeline.

Moto brings AI generation into a real video timeline - create shots, motion, and audio, then refine everything in one place.

Why Moto

AI tools give you pieces.

You still have to build the video.

Generators create assets, not finished projects. You generate in one tool, edit in another, and rebuild every time something changes. Moto turns iteration into refinement: regenerate a shot, adjust a scene, change the motion, or cut a new version without leaving the timeline.

30-second workflow

Watch Moto turn this reference into editable motion in 30 seconds.

For this example, Moto recreated the reference as editable motion graphics in under 30 seconds. The result remains fully editable in the Moto timeline—a task that would typically take a professional more than half an hour.

How it works

Generate in the project.

Refine in the timeline.

Moto's AI tools are not a separate destination. They create, transform, and refine assets inside the same project where you edit.

01

Generation in the timeline

Generate onto the timeline. Stacked, layered, editable.

Images, video, and graphics generate as clips and layers in your edit, not in a separate tool. Effects stack on each clip: every effect remains visible, ordered, and independently editable. Change a layer, swap a shot, or regenerate a beat. The rest of your timeline stays in place.

Generation as layers

02

Motion AI

Prompt to motion. Generate, then edit it live.

Create motion graphics as timeline clips: titles, lower thirds, transitions, kinetic type. The output stays in the project, where you can trim, layer, and refine it like the rest of the edit.

Motion AI

03

Assistant

Edit by talking to your project.

Ask it to translate a title, rewrite text, or prepare a motion prompt. The Assistant works with the project context: timelines, sources, media, and tools, instead of acting like a disconnected chat box.

Plain-language edits

04

Sources and references

Build a character once. Keep her shot after shot.

Reusable visual sources help keep generation consistent across scenes and projects. Use existing images, products, locations, or generated outputs as references when consistency matters.

Source-based prompting

05

Producer

Give it a brief. Get an assisted first cut.

Start from a brief, script, or references and get structure to refine: scenes, shots, timing, and a first direction. Producer is a starting point, not a locked result.

Assisted first cut

Generate with Seedance 2.0, Veo 3.1, Kling, Nano Banana, and more inside Moto.

A real editor underneath

Not a generator with a preview window.

A timeline editor with AI built in.

Trim.

Move.

Cut.

If you’ve used a video editor, you already know your way around. Moto is a timeline editor with layers, clips, keyframes, effects, audio, and a render queue, plus AI generation built into the same project. The editor stands on its own.

Inside the editor

Generation, references, assistant workflows, and export stay connected to the project timeline.

Generate directly in the timeline

Who we built this for

Built for motion designers, video editors,

and creative teams working with AI-generated media.

moto is for you if

You are part of a brand team, agency, or independent creative practice producing brand films, launches, social clips, product demos, or internal video. You need AI generation, editing, and project control in one timeline instead of rebuilding work across disconnected tools.
