Yes — a free plan lets you compose multi-scene motion graphics with voiceover and captions. Paid plans (Creator $29.90/mo, Pro $99.90/mo) add AI image, video, and sound generation and remove the watermark.

Can I edit the video after it's generated?

Yes. Onda produces an editable scene graph, so you can change any element — text, color, timing, layout — without re-generating the whole video.

Do I need video-editing or design skills?

No. You describe the video in plain language and an AI director composes it — there is no timeline to learn.

A finished MP4 in any aspect ratio — vertical, square, or widescreen — for social, ads, and product videos.

Is there a watermark?

Free exports include a small watermark; Creator and Pro plans remove it.

Kinetic typography generator: animated text from a prompt

Kinetic typography is animated text that moves, scales, and arrives in time — words choreographed as motion rather than set as static type. A kinetic typography generator turns a line of copy into that motion automatically. Onda Studio does it from a prompt, and — this is the part that matters — the result stays editable down to the individual word.

This is a how-to as much as a definition. Here's what kinetic typography is, why most tools make it hard to fix, and how Onda generates it so you can change one word and only that word.

What kinetic typography is

Kinetic typography is the design discipline of animating text: a headline that builds letter by letter, a stat that counts up, a phrase that snaps into place on the beat. It's the backbone of social motion graphics, lyric videos, product taglines, and explainer titles — anywhere the words are the visual.

Done well, it's about timing and restraint: type that enters with intent, holds, and leaves clean. Done badly, it's text that bounces for no reason. The hard part isn't the animation; it's getting the exact words, on brand, animated tastefully, and then editing them when the copy changes.

Why editing kinetic typography is usually painful

Most paths to animated text have the same trap.

Manual keyframing (After Effects, browser motion tools): full control, but every word is hand-animated. Change "Launch" to "Relaunch" and you re-time the whole line.
One-shot AI video generators: type to them is pixels, not text. The model paints letters into frames. Fix a typo and you re-roll the clip — and the rest of the shot drifts with it. That's the regeneration spiral.

Either way, a one-word copy change costs far more than one word of effort.

How Onda generates editable kinetic typography

Onda is an AI motion-graphics generator. You describe the scene — "a bold headline that builds word by word, brand violet, square format" — and an AI director composes it as a deterministic scene graph: named, addressable elements rather than baked pixels. A source-available, GPU-native engine then renders that graph to a real MP4.

Because the text is structured, not painted, you get word-level deterministic edits:

Change one word and only that word changes — the camera move, colors, timing, and every other word hold exactly.
Fix a typo, swap a headline, or adjust the brand color without re-rolling the composition.
Reframe the same kinetic type to wide, square, or vertical without rebuilding the animation.

This is the selling point. With Onda, "edit the third word" is a real, surgical operation — not a euphemism for "generate it again and hope."

A practical workflow

Prompt the scene. State the copy, the tone (snappy, calm, dramatic), the brand color, and the format. Or start from an editable template and replace the words.
Generate an editable first draft. The agent composes the kinetic type as motion graphics with AI imagery, video, voiceover, and sound if you want them.
Refine element by element. Chat with the agent — "make the second line arrive half a beat later" — or manipulate the text directly. The agent and the UI are at parity, so use whichever is faster.
Reframe and ship. Export the same composition to every aspect ratio your channels need.

There's no timeline to learn. You refine by talking to the agent or moving things directly.

When a one-shot generator is the better tool

If you actually want photoreal footage — a real-looking scene, cinematic B-roll, text physically composited into live action — a dedicated one-shot model like Runway or Sora will lead on raw fidelity for that shot. Onda can generate video clips too, but its strength is designed, editable motion graphics — which is exactly what kinetic typography is.

For animated text where the words must be precise, on brand, and changeable after the fact, structured composition wins.

Onda at a glance

Onda Studio: describe a scene, an AI director composes it into a deterministic scene graph, and a source-available engine renders a real, editable MP4. Change one word and only that changes. Plans: Free, Creator $29.90/mo, Pro $99.90/mo. See pricing for what's included.

The takeaway

A kinetic typography generator is only as good as your ability to fix the words afterward. Onda generates animated text from a prompt and keeps every word addressable, so editing is a precise change — not a regeneration.
