How It WorksWhat AI Can GenerateCredit SystemTips for Better ResultsWhat's Next

One of KinoViz's most powerful features is AI Animation Generation — describe what you want in plain English, and get a complete animation project in seconds.

How It Works

KinoViz's AI generation is powered by Google Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, a large language model optimized for structured output. Here's the pipeline:

  1. You describe your idea — "Create a product launch animation with a phone rotating in 3D, text fading in from below, and particles floating upward"
  2. AI generates a project spec — The model outputs a complete animation definition: canvas size, elements (text, shapes, 3D models), keyframes, easing curves, and timing
  3. KinoViz renders it — The editor parses the AI output and builds a fully editable project you can refine manually

What AI Can Generate

  • Text animations: Titles, subtitles, captions with fade, slide, scale effects
  • Shape animations: Rectangles, circles, custom paths with motion and color transitions
  • Bubble effects: Speech bubbles, thought bubbles with entrance animations
  • 3D camera movements: Orbit, zoom, pan on imported 3D models
  • Auto music: Synchronized background tracks in 5 styles

Credit System

Each AI generation uses approximately 16K tokens and costs 1 credit. Credits are included in subscription plans:

Plan Monthly Credits Extra Credits
Free 5 —
Creator 50 $0.10/credit
Pro 200 $0.08/credit
Studio Unlimited Included

Tips for Better Results

  1. Be specific — "A 16:9 social media ad with bold white text on blue background" works better than "make something cool"
  2. Mention element types — Include words like "text", "shape", "3D model", "bubble" to guide the AI
  3. Describe timing — "Text appears at 0.5s, logo fades in at 1.2s" helps the AI sequence correctly
  4. Iterate — Generate a base, then fine-tune keyframes manually in the editor

What's Next

We're continuously improving the AI model with more training data and better structured output. Coming soon: multi-scene animations, voice-over generation, and style transfer from reference videos.
