Mootion uses AI tools to create video content from your prompts or a completed script. Mootion takes your script of up to 2500 characters and creates a storyboard with images for each paragraph or section of the story. When using a prompt, type in an idea, and Mootion generates a corresponding story. Options include choices of several output languages, style options, and video ratios corresponding to social media options. After adding a prompt or story and making customization choices, click generate to begin the video creation process. You will need to create a free account with Google, Discord, or your email. Each video uses 20 credits; free members receive 200 monthly credits. After generating the video, choose options to regenerate, add assets (your images), animate transitions, or download the video.

Mootion offers many choices for classroom use! Paste students' stories into Mootion to create videos and watch them come to life, autogenerate stories about historical events and characters to engage students in your upcoming lessons, or create a story using vocabulary words when introducing new science units. If you do not share the video during class, download the MP4 file to your device and upload it to YouTube to make it accessible to all students anytime.
