A motion kit is the set of animated graphics Mochine adds to your videos: titles, lower thirds, transitions, captions, word stacks, and quote pulls. Mochine comes with three built-in kits (Standard, Pop, and Elevated), and you can create custom kits that use your logo, colors, and fonts, or a completely new look you describe.

In this article, we'll cover what custom motion kits cost, how to create and edit one, how to use it in your videos, and tips for getting the best result.

Every account gets custom motion kits at no extra cost:

You can see how many included kits you have left, and when they expire, when you start creating a kit (for example, "2 included motion kits remaining").

Once your included kits are used up, each new custom motion kit costs 2,500 credits.

Each custom kit includes 3 revisions. After that, each revision costs 250 credits.

A revision is one chat request, no matter how many changes it contains. For example, "make the lower thirds bigger, use our navy blue for titles, and slow down the transitions" counts as a single revision.

The kit panel shows how many included revisions you have left on that kit.

If you don't have enough credits, Mochine will let you know before it starts and show you the option to buy more. To learn about top-ups and credit subscriptions, check out Understanding Wistia Credits.

You can start a new kit two ways:

Mochine walks you through up to three steps. Use the arrows at the top to move back and forth before you create the kit.

Click "Next."

Tell Mochine what the kit should feel like: your brand's personality, a theme, colors, styles, or a specific campaign. For example, "Apply a holiday theme that feels warm and nostalgic" or "1980s retro VHS feel with pink and blue graphics and CRT motion effects."

You can also click "Add an inspirational image" to upload up to 4 reference images. Mochine uses them to inform design elements like colors and shapes.

You can use a description, images, or both.

If you started from your website, or from a Brand Kit with more than one logo, choose the logo to use. You can pick one Mochine found, or select "My own logo" to upload one (.svg, .png, .jpg, or .jpeg).

Click "Create motion kit." Building a kit takes a few minutes, and you can watch Mochine build each graphic in real time.

When it's done, preview the graphics in both 1:1 and 9:16 sizes.

Your new kit appears in the motion kit picker alongside any other custom kits you've created, as well as the built-in Standard, Pop, and Elevated ones.

To make changes, in the Motion kits modal, hover over a motion kit and click the pencil icon, then describe what you'd like to change in the chat. Each chat request counts as one revision (see Revisions above).

You can also:

When Mochine builds a video, it adds graphics from your selected motion kit and pulls on-screen text from your video's transcript. Graphics show up in the timeline as chips on purple tracks.

To use a different kit:

You can switch kits on a video at any time through the motion kit settings picker; using a kit in a video doesn't cost extra beyond your normal Mochine creation.

In the Motion kit modal, use the filters to view Presets (built-in kits) or Custom kits. Click "View all" to see every kit.

To delete a custom kit, click the three dots on the kit and select "Delete motion kit."

Then, confirm your decision in the modal.

You can select a custom kit to be your default for new videos. To do so, open the Motion kit modal and click the ellipsis. Then, click "Make default." The kit then shows a Default badge.

It's the fastest way to get accurate logos, colors, and fonts. Use "Create a new look" for campaigns or styles that are intentionally different from your brand.

"Modern and clean" gives Mochine little to go on. Describe personality, energy, and context: "Confident and minimal for B2B product demos, lots of white space, bold sans-serif titles."

A screenshot of a campaign landing page, an ad, or a mood board helps Mochine match shapes and color treatments.

Upload an .svg if you have one. Since the logo can't be changed later, double-check it before you click "Create motion kit."

Since each chat request is one revision, list all your changes in a single message instead of sending them one at a time. This helps you get the most out of your 3 included revisions.

Color changes made using the color swatch editor do not count as revisions and are free to make.

With 1 or 3 included kits per year, save them for looks you'll reuse, like your core brand kit and one or two major campaigns.

Preview your kit in both 1:1 and 9:16, and try it on the sample video, before using it across your videos.

Once your included kits are used, each kit costs 2,500 credits. Buy a top-up or credit subscription from the prompt in Mochine, then try again. Check out Understanding Wistia Credits to learn more.

You won't be charged for a kit that doesn't finish. Try creating it again. If it keeps failing, contact our Support team.

No. Claimed kits don't count toward your included kits. To claim a kit, sign up with an email address that matches the kit's website domain.

Pick or upload the correct logo in Step 3, or start from your Brand Kit instead. You can adjust colors after the kit is built using the color controls.

No. To use a different logo, create a new kit.
