On its way but not there yet

Yes, this is reminiscent of ReelCraft. I liked ReelCraft as it saved me a lot of time in the initial stages of a project (never did simply output and use as-is). Since ReelCraft went the way of the wind, when I saw Mootion, I was optimistic. There are some pros and cons to Mootion, which I'll outline, but the TL;DR version is: easy to use, quality output, lousy prompt adherence, animation costs a lot, worth checking out, especially if your use-case doesn't need strict adherent output.

Pros: It's easy to use in general. Editing scenes' text/VO and regenerating images is easy-peasy. The biggest pro is the quality output.

Cons: The biggest con is prompt adherence. It's fine to have to regenerate an image, it isn't fine to have to regenerate an image 8 times because it keeps outputting the same character instead of adhering to the prompt (eg. re-output an overweight man with graying hair when the prompt says a thin 25 year-old man). Other "cons" include the number of credits it takes to animate. Understand, I don't expect this necessarily to be cheap. Especially because businesses need to be able to stay in business and if it costs the company, then it will naturally cost the customer. However, when it costs more than double what it would to animate an image directly (eg on Kling)...and that animation is actually a simple pan shot over the image rather than actual movement of people, that's too high a credit cost. Now, if the animation was always "movie-like", then the higher cost could be justified.

A note here: on one project, the animation cost was reasonable; on another project the animation cost was more than double of what it would have cost to turn each individual image into a video using Kling. Not sure why.

Suggestions for improvement:
1. have options for animation that cost different credit amounts. Want a simple slide-show pan/zoom, not too many credits for that. Want movie-like action, costs more.
2. prompt adherence needs to be infinitely better. (even though I listed this second, it's the most critical issue, IMO)
3. have better input options before the initial storyboard is created so that we can use it as-is right now, suggest specfic scene prompts, tell it whether to use our input as a guide (eg. don't change my VO script or use it as a guide to create a better script)
4. Better selection of voices and music would be nice, but that's not a critical issue.

Thank you so much for your detailed and fair review — this kind of feedback really helps us grow!

I would like to help more, please send me more info on your case via email [email protected], will discuss more on the issues.

Prompt adherence: The character consistency behind it is been upgraded and like you know about the evolving process on AI, it will get 10x better on consistency and adherence with simpler prompts.

🎬 Animation options: For now, slide-show mode is there for any video templates with much less credits consumed. All animated videos indeed cost more because of the current load of computing for video generation. The hybrid of basic animation with high quality will help save more credits. A batch of new models are coming as well for balanced credits use.

🎨 Storyboard inputs: Soon, you’ll be able to customize more before generation, including locking your own script, defining key visuals, and setting scene guidance more precisely.

🎵 Voices & Music: New, more expressive voice packs and background music options are on the way too.

We truly appreciate you recognizing the value of the platform’s quality and usability — and your suggestions align perfectly with our roadmap for the coming months. Thanks again for giving Mootion a try and helping us make it better every week.
