Explains with your interface
The screens on your page are the scenes. Viewers see the product they will use, not a cartoon of it.

What makes a good explainer video
An explainer video answers three questions in order: what problem does this solve, how does the product solve it, and what should I do next. The best ones are short, show the product early, and use the viewer's words, not the company's.
Motioneed builds that structure from your own page. It reads the headline and the claims, picks the screenshots that show the product doing its job, and writes an explainer around them. You get an animated explainer video that uses your real interface instead of a stock character.
A structure for a SaaS explainer video
| Part | What it shows | Share of the video |
|---|---|---|
| Problem | The task your buyer struggles with today | About a fifth |
| Product | Your interface doing that task, step by step | About half |
| Proof | A result, a number or a customer name from your page | About a fifth |
| Next step | Your URL or offer | The last few seconds |
For most products, 30 to 60 seconds is enough. Go to 90 seconds only for a product with several steps that each need to be seen.
Animated explainer video, from your site
An animated explainer video usually means a studio, a script, a storyboard and weeks of drawing. Motioneed skips the drawing: the animation is built around the screenshots and type already on your page. That makes it a good fit for software, apps and online products, where the interface is the thing to explain. It is not the right tool for character animation or a hand-drawn whiteboard style.

- Export the size you need: 16:9 for your site, 9:16 or 1:1 for social.

Questions
Does it draw cartoon characters or whiteboard sketches?
No. Motioneed animates your real interface, your brand and kinetic type. For a cartoon or whiteboard style, an illustration studio is the better fit.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. The free preview uses the 6 free credits on a new account and runs up to 10 seconds. A paid plan or pack unlocks longer cuts and 1080p or 4K exports without a watermark.
What does a video cost?
Credits per finished second: 0.5 on Haiku 5.5, 0.9 on Sonnet 5.5 (the default) and 1.8 on Opus 5.5. A 30-second cut on Sonnet 5.5 is 27 credits. Pro is $29 a month for 100 credits; packs start at $15 for 40. A render that fails gives its credits back.
Can it read pages behind a login?
No, it reads public pages. Attach your own screenshots, or describe the product in one sentence.
Which sizes can I make?
16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 and 3:4, from 10 to 90 seconds. 4K is available in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1.
