How to Access MotionMockups AI

MotionMockups AI is available after you create a mockup using MockAnything AI.

Click the "create video" button in the top right corner after you are happy with image generated.

Step-by-Step Access

  1. Create a Mockup with MockAnything AI

    • Generate your base lifestyle mockup

    • Customize appearance (ethnicity, pose, scene, etc.)

    • Add your artwork or design

  2. Locate the Video Button

    • Look in the top right corner of the editor

    • Click the "Video Mockups" button

    • The MotionMockups AI modal will open

Video Configuration Options

Customize your video generation with these settings:

Custom Prompt (Optional but Recommended)

Add a text prompt to guide the AI's motion generation and enhance video quality.

Example Prompts:

  • "Model walking confidently down city street"

  • "Person turning slowly to showcase the design"

  • "Casual movement with natural hand gestures"

  • "Close-up view with subtle product focus"

  • "Dynamic angle showing product from multiple views"

Why Custom Prompts Matter:

Without a prompt, the AI uses enhanced default settings based on your mockup. Adding a custom prompt gives you more creative control over:

  • Motion style and speed

  • Camera movement and angles

  • Model behavior and gestures

  • Scene atmosphere and energy

Recommended: Always use custom prompts to explore the full power of MotionMockups AI.

Audio Selection

Choose whether to include ambient audio in your video.

Options:

With Audio:

  • Natural ambient sounds matching the scene

  • Adds realism and immersion

  • Better for some social platforms

Without Audio:

  • Silent video output

  • Ideal for adding custom music later

  • Works better for autoplay content

When to Use Audio:

  • Include Audio: TikTok, Instagram Reels (if not adding music)

  • Exclude Audio: Product pages, email marketing, custom soundtracks

Video Length

Select the duration of your video mockup.

Options:

5 Seconds:

  • Quick, snappy content

  • Perfect for product page loops

  • Ideal for short attention spans

  • Lower credit cost

10 Seconds:

  • More engaging storytelling

  • Better for social media feeds

  • Allows more motion variety

  • Recommended for ads

Platform Recommendations:

  • 5 seconds: Product pages, email marketing, quick loops

  • 10 seconds: Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook ads, full social posts

Best Practices

Writing Effective Custom Prompts

Be Specific: "Model walking confidently through downtown street" vs. "walking"

Include Motion Details: Describe how you want the subject to move

Set the Atmosphere: Mention energy level (calm, dynamic, energetic)

Focus on Product: "Showing off t-shirt design while turning"

Good Prompt Examples:

  • "Professional woman walking through modern office lobby"

  • "Fitness enthusiast at gym showcasing athletic wear"

  • "Casual urban scene with model turning to camera"

  • "Close-up product focus with subtle background movement"

  • "Model pointing at design on t-shirt with enthusiasm"

Prompts to Avoid:

❌ Too vague: "person moving"

❌ Too complex: "model walks down street, turns left at corner, waves at camera, spins around, then walks back"

❌ Conflicting actions: "sitting and walking simultaneously"

Optimizing for Different Platforms

Instagram Reels:

  • Use 10-second videos

  • Include audio or plan to add music

  • Focus on engaging motion

  • Consider vertical crop when posting

TikTok:

  • 10-second videos perform best

  • Custom prompts for energetic movement

  • Include audio or add trending sounds

  • Dynamic, eye-catching motion

Product Pages:

  • 5-second loops work perfectly

  • No audio needed (autoplay)

  • Subtle, professional movement

  • Focus on product showcase

Facebook Ads:

  • 10-second videos recommended

  • Include audio for engagement

  • Clear product visibility

  • Hook viewers in first 2 seconds

Email Marketing:

  • 5-second videos (smaller file size)

  • No audio (silent-friendly)

  • Loop seamlessly

  • Compelling visual story

Creating Multiple Variations

Generate several video versions to maximize content:

Variation Strategy:

  1. Different Prompts: Try 3-4 different motion styles

  2. Length Options: Create both 5s and 10s versions

  3. Audio Variations: Generate with and without audio

  4. Base Mockups: Use different scene settings or models
