I've been testing Mootion for my YouTube channel, and I have mixed feelings.

First, the good: The potential here is huge. The visual quality of the AI-generated scenes is impressive, and the cinematic style (like in the "Horror Story" template) is much better than many competitors. When it works, it creates beautiful, professional-looking videos.

However, there are two major issues holding this back from being an instant 5-taco deal:

The "AI" Isn't Quite an Expert: The tool is a "storyteller," not a "fact-teller." When I gave it a complex prompt about Fortnite lore ("The Story of The Seven"), it generated a full script that was factually incorrect and completely made up key plot points. This makes it unusable for any historical or lore-based content, as I now have to write 100% of the script myself to ensure accuracy, which defeats the purpose of an automated AI tool.

The Credit Consumption is the Deal-Breaker: This is the biggest problem. The credit usage is extremely high. I generated one 3-minute video and only four short (under 60-second) videos, and my entire credit stack was completely gone.

This is simply not a sustainable model for content creators, especially for an AppSumo deal, which is meant to provide long-term value. At this high consumption rate, the cost per video is far too expensive, and I'm forced to think more about my credit balance than about creating content.

Final Verdict:

I love the visual quality, but the tool is missing the "expert knowledge" needed to complete my work without full script supervision. More importantly, the credit system needs a serious overhaul.

I am strongly considering a refund unless the team can address the high credit consumption. If they can make the credit cost per video more reasonable, this would be an amazing tool. But as it stands, the value isn't there.
