Video Agent by Fotor - Create and edit precision motion graphics & video with chat
by•
Fotor Video Agent helps founders, marketers, and creators turn ideas, scripts, or raw assets into precision videos & motion graphics. It auto-orchestrates scenes, timing, visual FX, and kinetic typography—while keeping text, numbers, logos, and charts editable on a multi-track timeline before you render. Update stats at the last minute or refine timing without regenerating the whole video. Ship promos and explainers faster with zero black-box outputs and no tedious keyframes.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Coral, Head of Growth at @Fotor .
We're thrilled to launch Fotor Video Agent - Create and edit precision motion graphics & video with chat.
Why we built this:
A few months ago, our team spent hours crafting a 90-second product video with AI. It looked perfect — until we spotted a typo in an animated chart. To fix one word, we had to re-run the entire prompt, burn more credits, and pray the next version would still look consistent. That felt backwards.
The problem with AI video today: Most tools give you a locked MP4. You can't edit text, swap a shot, or adjust timing without starting over. For growth teams iterating on campaigns, that's a dealbreaker.
Here's what makes Fotor Video Agent different:
• Editable multi-track timeline — Every text, number, logo, and chart stays editable before you render. Fix a typo without regenerating the whole video.
• AE-level animated infographics — Turn raw data into animated charts that stay live and parametric. No After Effects needed.
• End-to-end agent orchestration — Describe your idea, upload a PDF, or paste a script. The Agent plans, generates, and assembles everything on the timeline.
In our tests, what used to take 3-5 days now takes about 40 minutes.
Getting started: Bring a brief, raw assets, or even a rough idea. We'll help you turn it into a polished video project.

What's the one video editing task you wish AI could handle for you?
I'm here all day — happy to answer questions! 🚀
@coral_guo one of the most interesting launches today, started using

@artstavenka1 Thanks! Hope you like it. And look forward to your feedback.
It used to take a small army to ship one great video. Now, you can start with one agent.
A typical production might involve a strategist, scriptwriter, designer, motion designer, editor, voice artist, plus a stack of different tools just to get from an idea to something ready to publish.
Having worked closely with the team behind Fotor Video Agent, this is the shift that excites me most. Give the agent an idea, document, or raw assets, and it can orchestrate the production across scripting, scenes, visuals, timing, voice, music, and motion graphics.
But the important part is that you don’t lose control once AI takes over the heavy lifting. Instead of ending with a black-box video, you get a structured, multi-track project where text, numbers, logos, charts, and motion graphics remain editable before the final render.
For founders and makers, that feels especially powerful. Your launch changes constantly: a stat gets updated, the copy changes, the product evolves. You shouldn’t have to regenerate an entire video just to fix one detail. One agent to orchestrate the production. You stay in control of the final cut.
To me, that’s the bigger shift: from AI video generation to AI-assisted production. Excited to finally see this out in the wild.
For content marketing, the annoying part is often not coming up with an idea, but turning that idea into an actual finished video. Having one workflow handle more of that process is pretty interesting.
Fotor
@qiwap Exactly — that was a big part of why we built it. We wanted to go beyond “generate a video” and handle the messy middle: planning scenes, sourcing the right visuals, editing, motion, and then still letting you tweak the result
@qiwap 100%. I work in marketing and ideas are rarely the problem 😄 It’s everything that comes after that eats up the time. That’s probably what I like most about this, I can hand over more of the production work, but still jump in when I want to change something.
@qiwap Yes!, I'd like to try it 😁
Fotor
@marcelo_earth Awesome! Hope you have fun with it! Try throwing a real idea or doc at the Agent and see where it takes you. Would love to hear your thoughts :)

How much do you usually have to fix after AI creates a video from a doc? Or is it pretty much ready to use? also it's different from Davinci
Fotor
@abod_rehman It usually gets you pretty close to a usable first draft, but I wouldn't say zero editing. The nice part is that the output stays fully editable, so you can tweak scenes, text, timing, assets, etc. without starting over. And that's also where it's quite different from DaVinci — we're trying to handle more of the planning and creation before you even get to the editing stage
@abod_rehman I still tweak things! Usually copy, pacing, or some of the motion details. I used to do a lot of that final clean-up in Final Cut Pro, so I’m quite used to AI getting me 70–80% there and then finishing things myself.
What I like here is that I don’t necessarily have to jump into another editing tool for every small change. If it’s a number, text, logo, chart or motion element, I can often just fix it there before rendering. I don’t expect AI to get everything perfect in one go haha, I just don’t want to regenerate the whole thing because one detail is wrong 😄
And yeah, fotor is pretty different from DaVinci. I see this more as taking a doc or idea through the production process and giving me something I can keep working on, rather than just generating the video and handing me the output.
M tired of juggling tools for consistent branding, can Fotor really do it all?
How accurate is it in practice?
800M users are just wow, like really?😲
@james_carter35 Yes, 800M is real 😄 Fotor has actually been around for 14+ years, so I think that number surprises people who only discovered us during the AI wave.
And as someone working in marketing, I definitely feel the tool-juggling pain 😂 I wouldn’t say one tool can magically replace everything, but having the brand, creative and video workflow in one place already saves me a lot of back-and-forth.
Fotor
@james_carter35 Haha, the 800M+ number is real 😄 And yeah, “can it really do it all?” is a fair question. We’re not trying to replace every specialized tool, but the goal with Video Agent is to take you from an idea/doc to a full video without bouncing between a bunch of tools. For accuracy, the best test is probably to throw one of your real projects at it and see how close the first draft gets 🙌

Nice one! I just tried the Motion Studio by @Topview yesterday, gonna try this one too and see which works better for me.
Fotor
@justin2025 Thanks Justin! Definitely give it a try and let us know what you think! I'd be especially curious to hear how you find the idea/doc → full video workflow and the editing flexibility afterward. Would love to hear which one fits your workflow better!
Fotor
@dhirajwohra Thank you! The editable timeline was definitely something we cared a lot about. “AI made it” is cool, but “I can actually go in and fix it myself” is even more useful. 😉
I am a longtime Canva user, while Fotor keeps catching my eye since long.
And $3.99/m seems almost too good, what's the catch? lol
Fotor
@flora_kendall Haha, fair question 😄 The $3.99 plan is our low-entry option with a smaller monthly credit allowance, while the higher plans give you more credits for heavier use. Since you've been a longtime Canva user, definitely give Fotor a try and see how it fits into your workflow! 😉

Nice, can you tell me more about the ai features mentioned in the poster?
Fotor
@yilu Sure! The AI side covers quite a bit: long-form planning, scene generation, intelligent editing, visuals, voice/audio, and motion graphics. The Agent basically connects those pieces into one workflow instead of making you jump between different tools. And the final project stays editable
Fotor used to be a mobile app as well. Is the video editing part of the app now or its web only?
Fotor
@himani_sah1 Yep, we’ve always had both web and mobile! 😄 Video Agent is live on the web for now, and the app version is coming around mid-September. We’re pretty excited to get it into the app too!
