About Vela Motion Graphics
Vela Motion Graphics turns a sentence into an animated video. You describe what you want, choose a format such as landscape for YouTube or vertical for TikTok among six formats, and the AI designs and animates it, typically in under three minutes, with no keyframes or timeline. You then refine by chatting, for example changing the background, adding an animated route or swapping colors, and can adjust duration, format, themes and colors.
Example categories include corporate infographics, data visualization, map animation, social promos and SaaS launch videos, and listed uses include product demos, travel reels, educational explainers, training, event promotions, brand stories and social ads. Exports are available in 720p and 1080p.
Pricing is one-time credit packs rather than subscriptions: a Starter pack at a launch price of $9 for 100 credits, about 14 videos, and a pack at $24 for 300 credits, about 42 videos, which adds a full commercial license, no watermarks and priority rendering, plus a larger team pack. Starting is free with no credit card.
