Voom vs Motion: a motion graphics film maker or a general video agent

Voom and Motion at a glance

Motion is a video agent made by Mosaic. Its home page calls it the General Video Agent, and it means general: give it footage, writing, a reference or an idea, and it plans the video, builds the shots, edits them and checks the cut. It can cut a multicamera podcast, make a talking head, clip highlights, animate a logo, turn an article into a video or make a launch video. You can change things by chatting, by drawing on the video or in a timeline, and take the project into Premiere Pro, After Effects or DaVinci Resolve to finish it there.

Voom does one thing. You write a prompt and, when the film is about your product, paste its link. Voom designs a motion graphics film for that one product or idea: its palette, its type, the pictures worth showing, a script sized to the length, a voice-over, an original score and sound effects. Films run from 15 seconds to 3 minutes, in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5.

So the choice is less about which tool is better and more about which job you have. One is a video team in an agent. The other is a motion graphics studio for the films a product needs every week.

How each one makes a launch film

Motion: a plan, then shots, then an edit

Motion’s own walkthrough shows the steps. It reads your site to learn the brand, storyboards the film scene by scene with a palette, a style guide and pacing, then builds every scene: visuals, motion graphics, voice-over, music and captions. Afterwards you resize, drag or change elements by hand, or ask for changes in the chat. It also connects to Google Drive, Frame.io, Notion and Slack for context, can run on a schedule, and offers an API and an MCP server so other agents can call it.

Voom: one film, designed around your product

Voom starts from the same two things, a sentence and a link, and spends everything on the film itself. It reads the page for free and keeps what is worth keeping: colours, type, logo and the product pictures that show the product well. The script is written for the length you pick and each shot is composed for the size you pick. Every word on screen is set in real type, so a name, a price or a button label reads exactly as written in every frame. The score is written for that film, and sound effects land on the moments that matter.

Voom also has a truth rule. A film states only figures its sources state, so every number on screen is checked against your page and your prompt before it appears. For a launch, where one wrong number undoes the trust the film was meant to build, that rule matters.

Voom vs Motion compared

Motion facts come from motion.so and its documentation, read on 23 October 2026.

	Motion	Voom
What it is	A general video agent: editing, generation and motion design	A motion graphics film maker for products and ideas
Starts from	Footage, writing, a reference or an idea	A prompt, plus your product link

Sound	Voice-over, music and captions	Voice-over in 20 voices and more than 20 languages, an original score for each film, sound effects
After the film	Chat, draw on the video, timeline, export to Premiere Pro, After Effects or DaVinci Resolve	Fix words on screen or remake in another size, same voice, music and motion
How a film is priced	By credits; cost depends on engine, effort, length, generated media and follow-up edits	8 credits plus 9 a minute of film, known before you start

Best for	Teams with footage to edit and many kinds of video	Founders and marketers who need designed product films often

Bottom line: if your week is full of footage, podcasts and clips, a general agent like Motion fits that work. If your week needs a launch film, an explainer and a feature announcement, each designed for your product and true to its numbers, Voom is built for exactly that.

What a film costs on each

Credits are not the same unit on both tools, so compare films, not credits.

On Voom every film costs 8 credits plus 9 a minute of finished video, counted by the second and rounded up. You know the price before you start:

Film length	Voom credits	On Pro ($29 for 560 credits)
30 seconds	13	about $0.67
45 seconds	15	about $0.78
60 seconds	17	about $0.88
90 seconds	22	about $1.14
3 minutes	35	about $1.81

Reading your product link costs nothing, and remaking a finished film in another size costs one credit for every five seconds of film.

On Motion the documentation says video cost depends on the engine, effort, length, generated media and follow-up edits, and Flex credits cost $6 per 200, which is 3 cents a credit. When we typed a 45-second explainer brief into Motion on 22 October 2026, its credit estimate before starting was about 385 credits. At the Flex rate that is about $11.55; on Voom the same length is 15 credits. An estimate is not a bill, and Motion’s figure will vary with the job, but it shows how differently the two price a film.

What makes a Voom film different

• Designed, not assembled. No preset themes. Each film’s palette, type and layout come from your product, so two films never look alike.
• Real type. Every word is set the way a designer sets it, sharp and spelled right, and you can fix a word after the film is made.
• True numbers. Figures come only from your page or your prompt.
• Sound made for the film. An original score shaped to the story, a voice-over directed for the audience, sound effects on the beats.
• Your language. 20 voices, each able to speak more than 20 languages, including Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Spanish, Japanese and Arabic, with captions that follow the voice.
• Every size. 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5, and a finished film can be remade in another size without new AI work.

The film at the end of this page is Voom’s own Product Hunt launch film, made by Voom from one line of prompt and its own site.

Which one should you choose?

• You have footage to cut: a podcast, an interview, a multicam shoot or a talking head. Motion’s editing agent is made for it.
• You want to finish in a professional editor: Motion exports to Premiere Pro, After Effects and DaVinci Resolve.
• You need a launch film for Product Hunt or your home page: Voom, designed around your product, with every number checked.
• You need explainers in several languages: Voom, with 20 voices that speak more than 20 languages.
• You make product films every week and want to know each price in advance: Voom, at 8 credits plus 9 a minute.
