What is Motiongist?
Motiongist is an AI explainer video maker. You give it an idea, a script, a web page or a document. It writes the narration, designs every scene in motion design, syncs titles, diagrams and numbers to the voice, adds word-by-word captions and sound effects, and delivers a vertical MP4 for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts. It is made by Emy Labs LLC.

How a bike’s hub gears change speed with no derailleur
A planetary gearset hidden in the hub: the sun gear stays still, the planets walk around it, and a sliding clutch picks which part drives the wheel.

Before every render, the studio shows the exact cost, line by line. Your quote stays locked for 1 hour. The render can't cost more than the quote you approved.
Failed renders are refunded automatically
If a render fails on our side, we retry it up to 2 times, at no extra cost. If it still fails, every credit goes back to your balance on its own, with a line in your credit history and an e-mail.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we get most often. For anything else, email us:
What do I need to get started?
One sentence. You can also paste a script, share a link to an article or drop a document (PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown): Motiongist writes or adapts the script, then builds the video from there.
Do I need to know how to edit video?
No. The voice, visuals, animation, captions and sound are all done for you. You stay in control of the script, the voice and the look, and you can re-run the video as many times as you like.
How do credits work?
Everything runs on a single credit balance. A video costs 600 credits in short format (45–60 s), 850 in standard (90–120 s) and 1,250 in long (150–180 s). The narration, with a commercially licensed voice, is included; 3D rendering adds +100. A revision costs 60% of the base price: only what changed is re-planned, and the whole video is rendered again. You see the exact price before every generation, and if a generation fails, its credits come back automatically. Estimate a price.
Can a video end up costing more than the price I saw?
No. Before every render, the studio shows the exact credit price, line by line. You confirm that quote, it stays valid for an hour, and the render can’t cost more than it. The API and the MCP server follow the same rule: no approved quote, no render.
What happens if a render fails?
We retry it automatically, at no extra cost. If it still fails, its credits go back to your balance on their own, with a line in your credit history and an e-mail to let you know. Cancelling before the render starts refunds them too. See the refund policy.
Can my AI agent use Motiongist?
Yes. From the Studio plan, you get an MCP server (Claude, Cursor and any compatible client) and a REST API with webhooks: your agent can write a script, start a render and fetch the finished video. It’s all in the MCP docs and the API docs.
Can I monetize my videos?
Yes: channels, social media, ads, courses or client work. Every video, on any plan, free trial and credits you buy included, exports clean and comes with a commercial license, voice included.
What video formats do you support?
Vertical 9:16 (1080 × 1920), ready for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts, with every element inside the safe zones. Vertical only: no horizontal or square format.
How long does a video take?
Usually 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the length and the queue; a long 3D video can take up to about 2 hours; the studio shows the expected time before you launch. You can close the tab: we’ll email you when it’s ready.
Which languages?
Videos are narrated in English: the script, the voice, the captions and the on-screen text. 11 English narrators, each with its own tone: listen to them on the Voices page.
What’s your refund policy?
Canceling stops the renewal; you keep access until the end of the paid period, which isn’t refunded. A successful generation uses real compute and isn’t refundable, but a failed one gives you its credits back automatically. If you were charged twice, email us. Full details on the Refunds page.
Are the videos labeled as AI-generated?
Yes. The voices and visuals are synthetic, and we ask you to disclose it when you publish (platforms require it too, and so does the EU AI Act for audiences in Europe). See the terms of service.
