How long does it take to create a kinetic typography animation?

Under 60 seconds. You type the words in order and the style you want, and Easymotion times each word and adds the motion.

Do I need After Effects to make kinetic typography?

No, you do not need Adobe After Effects or any design skills. You describe the words and the motion in a prompt, then change them in the AI chat on the left.

Can I time the words to a voiceover or a song?

Easymotion exports video with no sound, so you add the audio in your video editor. Ask the chat to hold each word for a set time, such as half a second, so the words are easy to line up.

Can I use my own font?

Yes. Save your font in a Brand Kit and pick the kit before you send the prompt. You can also name a Google font in the prompt.

What format should I use to overlay the text on my video?

Use a MOV file with a transparent background. Ask the chat for a transparent background, or set the background color to transparent in Quick Edit, until the preview shows a checkerboard. Then export MOV and place it over your footage in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Use MP4 for a normal video file.

How to Create a Kinetic Typography Animation with AI

I used to spend a whole day in Adobe After Effects on thirty seconds of kinetic typography. Every word needed its own scale, position, and blur keyframes, and the timing had to land like a beat. You can now generate that same kinetic type with AI motion graphics tools.

How to Create a Kinetic Typography Animation with Easymotion

With Easymotion, you can skip the timeline entirely. You do not have to keyframe each word by hand. Here is exactly how to generate your kinetic typography.

1Open the Studio

First, navigate to Easymotion in your web browser and click the "Start Creating" button. You will be prompted to log in or sign up for a free account. Once logged in, you will enter the main studio interface.

2Enter Your Prompt

You have two options to create your kinetic typography animation. You can browse the template library to find a pre-made kinetic type style, or you can describe what you want in the prompt box. For example, type: "Create a kinetic typography animation on a black background with bold condensed white words. Slam in FUTURE, NOW, SLEEKER, FASTER, and SMARTER one at a time with motion trails, then end on VISION PRO with VISION in green."

Bold white words slam in one at a time, from FUTURE to SMARTER, and end on VISION PRO.

Tip

Before you send the prompt, set the number of outputs to 2, 3, or 4. You get several versions of the same words and keep the one you like best.

3Customize Using AI Chat

Once your base animation generates, you can adjust the details using the AI chat panel located on the left side of the screen. Just type commands directly into the chat. For example, type: "Change it to one title, VINTAGE ATTITUDE, in a purple typewriter font. Make the letters melt in with a wavy glitch, then settle and hold." The system updates your video automatically.

4Export Your Animation

When you are happy with the result, click the Export button in the top right corner and select the MP4 format for a standard video file. To overlay this text onto another video, make the background transparent first: ask the chat for a transparent background, or press the checkerboard button on the background color in Quick Edit. When the preview shows a checkerboard, export in the MOV format and drop the file into Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

Copy-Paste Prompts for Your Animation

Paste one into the prompt box in Easymotion, then change the details to fit your video.
