AI kinetic typography generator

Kinetic typography is text that moves with the message. ASAP Motion generates it from a prompt: type the words and the feel, such as a typewriter reveal or a bold, rhythmic title sequence, then edit timing, color and layout and export an MP4.

Updated

Kinetic typography in three steps

  1. Enter the words and the feel

    Write the text you want animated and describe the rhythm: calm and typed, or fast and punchy.

  2. Generate the sequence

    ASAP Motion builds the type animation as an editable set of text layers and effects.

  3. Tune the timing and export

    Adjust when each line lands, change the style, and export an MP4 in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1.

Example prompts you can copy

Paste one into the ASAP Motion prompt box, then edit the result in the browser. Change the details to fit your brand.

  • Example prompt

    Reveal text with a classic typewriter effect, subtle cursor blink, and clean pacing.

  • Example prompt

    Design a typography intro with kinetic text, smooth transitions, and strong visual rhythm.

  • Example prompt

    Slam each word onto the screen on a four-beat count, then lock the full sentence in place.

  • Example prompt

    A lyric-style animation where each line fades up, holds, then slides away.

What makes kinetic type work

  • Land key words on the beat

    Time important words to the beats of your audio. Even rough alignment makes the text feel intentional.

  • Limit the type styles

    Use one typeface and two or three weights. Variety should come from motion and scale, not from fonts.

  • Let contrast do the work

    Strong contrast between text and background keeps fast type readable on small screens.

  • Hold the last line

    Let the final phrase sit for a beat so it can be read in full.

Kinetic typography FAQ

What is kinetic typography?

Kinetic typography is animated text where movement, scale and timing express the meaning of the words. It is common in title sequences, lyric videos, ads and explainer videos.

Can I control the timing of each line?

Yes. Timing is editable after generation, so you can move lines earlier or later and change how long each one holds.

What styles can I ask for?

Describe the style in your prompt, such as typewriter, glitch, bold slam or soft fade, or start from a template and change it.

What formats can I export?

MP4 in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Every plan exports at 1080p and 30 fps, and Pro and Studio add 4K and 60 fps.
