About Openmotion

Openmotion is a free motion-design studio built specifically for macOS, catering to founders, designers, and developers who want to streamline their video creation workflow. The tool allows users to easily turn product screenshots and plain English prompts into highly editable motion, product launch, and SaaS explainer videos.

By simply describing a desired scene and attaching screenshots or a brand kit, Openmotion's built-in AI agent generates the core motion video. From there, users can manually refine their creation on a real canvas and timeline—adjusting key elements like layers, timing, easing, colors, camera movement, and sound. It also integrates seamlessly with Codex and Claude Code with no separate API keys required, and supports quick exports to MP4 format.
