Text to animation video, in one step

Type a sentence like why the sky is blue and get a narrated cartoon back. Or paste a long article and get a long video. Text to animation is the core of Motion2D: the words decide everything that appears on screen.

How it works

  1. Type or paste

    One line is enough. A full page works too.

  2. Choose the shape

    Length, language, voice, 16:9 or 9:16.

  3. Get the video

    Narrated, captioned and animated, as an MP4.

Short prompt or long text, both work

With a short prompt, Motion2D does the research and writes the script for you. With long text, paste it in script mode and it keeps your wording, turning each passage into scenes, so a long video from text stays faithful to what you wrote.

That is the difference from animating text itself. Tools that animate text, like kinetic typography in Canva, move the words around. Text to animation turns the words into pictures: people, places and actions.

  • Prompts of a few words
  • Articles, lessons and blog posts up to about 20,000 characters
  • Captions match the narration word by word

Write prompts that animate well

Concrete beats abstract. How a seed becomes a tree gives the AI a sequence to draw. Growth gives it nothing to show. Name the audience too: for 8-year-olds changes the vocabulary, pacing and look.

Add notes about style in plain words, such as warm sunset colours, friendly characters. Our guide on writing an animation script goes deeper.
