Motion reels from a prompt, no footage needed
By Anteras · Updated
Not built yet. This page describes a feature we plan to build. You cannot use it today. Join the waiting list and you will hear when it opens.
A motion reel is a short vertical video made only of animated graphics: text, numbers, shapes and scenes that move, usually with a voiceover and captions. Nobody is filmed. Anteras plans a mode that makes one from a prompt: you describe the video, approve it scene by scene, and get the finished reel. It is not built. Today Anteras can caption and finish a motion video you made somewhere else.
What it would do
- Start from a sentence. For example: a 20-second launch intro for an app, a text ad, a short video that animates three numbers.
- Show you a storyboard first. Every scene with its text and motion, to edit and approve before anything is rendered.
- Build it in your colours and fonts, in 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
- Add sound. Sound effects, and a voiceover where the video needs one.
- Let you change one scene without starting over.
That is the plan as it stands, and plans change. There is no date and no price yet. We build next what people ask for most, and joining the waiting list is how a request is counted.
What works today for a faceless video
The editor does not need a face in the shot. If you already have a motion video, a screen recording or stock footage with a voiceover, you can upload it, up to 3 minutes on the free plan, and finish it.
| Job | Works without a person in the shot? |
|---|---|
| Captions timed to the voiceover | Yes |
| Cutting pauses and filler sounds | Yes |
| Clean sound and loudness | Yes |
| A title on the first seconds | Yes |
| Colour looks | Yes |
| Resizing to 9:16 | Yes |
| Text and graphics behind a person | No, these need a person to cut out |
| Making the motion graphics themselves | No, that is the planned mode |
A video with no sound has nothing to caption, and the editor tells you so.
What it would not be
The plan is for animated graphics built from templates and your text. It is not a generator of filmed-looking footage.
Questions
Can Anteras make a motion reel from a prompt today?
No. That mode is planned and not built. Today the editor finishes a video you upload: captions, cuts, sound, a title and a look.
Can I caption a faceless video I made elsewhere?
Yes. Captions follow the voiceover, and nothing in the edit needs a face except the effects that put text behind a person.
When will it be ready?
There is no date. People on the waiting list are told first.
What will it cost?
The price is not set.
