MotionClone

MotionClone rebuilds a reference video as editable motion graphics. The user points it at a video whose motion they like, and it reconstructs what moves, when and how far as a scene made of real layers rather than a screen recording. The rebuild covers text, shapes, artwork and animation inside a HyperFrames project, with the original and the rebuilt version playing back in sync so the two can be compared. It is aimed at people making product demo videos and launch videos who want animated typography, feature callouts and transitions they can change. After the rebuild, the user swaps the words, colors and timing to make the motion their own, edits the result through code, and exports to MP4. The analysis is performed by an AI coding agent, Codex, using the customer's own ChatGPT account. MotionClone is available as a local Windows app, and the repository can be downloaded without a MotionClone subscription. Setup requires Python, Node.js, FFmpeg, Chrome and Codex. An online studio is in early access, where users sign in and connect their own ChatGPT plan. The local download carries no MotionClone fee, but ChatGPT account pricing and usage limits are separate and paid to OpenAI. Hosted pricing has not been announced, and no project wide open source license has been assigned.
