Your vision, made visible.
Turn a prompt, script, image, audio recording, or reference video into connected scenes with characters, motion, dialogue, and cinematic direction.
Mootion 5.0
Digital storytelling with AI video is the process of using artificial intelligence to turn an idea or source material into a structured visual story. The workflow can begin with a single prompt, a script, an image, audio, or other references, then develop into characters, scenes, clips, voice, and a final video. It is designed for creators, educators, filmmakers, marketers, and storytellers who want more control than a basic prompt-to-clip workflow without building every shot manually.
The redesigned creation interface lets you switch between Director Mode and Instant Mode while keeping the same video models for both. Choose prompt-to-video speed for short-form ideas or a storyboard-to-video workflow when continuity and shot control matter.
Instant Mode generates a video directly from a prompt using Smart Reference for image, video, and audio uploads, with an optional Optimize prompt setting. It supports 10- and 15-second durations for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels, with aspect ratios of 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, and 9:16.
Explore rapid AI video creationDirector Mode uses a storyboard-to-video workflow: start with a storyboard, refine individual shots, and render the final video. It supports duration options of 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes, plus character references, scene references, reference videos, cross-project Character Library reuse, and native subtitles with three dynamic styles.
The Director Mode language selector includes 19 options: English (US), English (UK), German, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Malay, Portuguese, Greek, Kazakh, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, and Arabic. Greek and Kazakh are the two latest additions.

It is designed to turn prompts and other inputs into structured video scenes. Instant Mode provides a direct prompt-to-video path for rapid short-form creation. Director Mode adds storyboards, character references, scene references, and shot-level control. This makes the workflow relevant to creators who want a guided starting point as well as users who need more production control. Clear prompts and useful references remain important for shaping the result.
Begin with an idea, script, image, audio recording, video, or another supported reference. Choose Instant Mode when you want a short video directly from a prompt. Choose Director Mode when you want to organize characters, scenes, reference images, reference videos, and clips before rendering. You can use the platform’s models, including Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.5, and MiniMax H3 where available. The resulting clips can then be combined into a final composite story.
Yes, the described workflow supports multimodal inputs and references. Instant Mode includes Smart Reference for image, video, and audio references. Director Mode supports custom character reference images, scene reference images, and reference videos for motion. These references are intended to provide more precise visual, movement, and audio direction. The exact result depends on the quality and relevance of the material you provide.
Instant Mode supports videos up to 30 seconds. Director Mode supports duration controls from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. The available duration can depend on the selected workflow, model, and account plan. Short-form creators can use Instant Mode for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Longer connected stories are better suited to the storyboard-led Director Mode workflow.
