Kinetic / Guides / Remotion alternative
Kinetic vs Remotion: launch videos without a codebase.
Remotion lets developers build videos with React. Kinetic gives you a finished, editable launch film from a prompt, with no code to write or maintain.
Runs in Chrome, Edge and Safari on Mac, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS. Free trial: 3 exports, no card. Pro is one payment: $9 for the first 100 buyers, then $19.
Where each fits
Use Remotion when you want full programmatic control: data-driven videos, custom components, rendering at scale in your own pipeline. See the Remotion docs.
Use Kinetic when you want a launch, demo or social film now. Kinetic already has the scene types, 27 styles, music and timing built in; you edit words, colours and screenshots.
Side by side
- Skill needed: Remotion needs React and a Node project. Kinetic needs none.
- Starting point: Remotion starts from code or a starter template. Kinetic starts from a prompt.
- Editing: Remotion edits are code changes. Kinetic edits are text edits in a visual editor.
- Rendering: Remotion renders through its CLI or cloud renderer. Kinetic renders in your browser.
- Music: bring your own in Remotion; Kinetic generates licence-free music timed to the cuts.
How to try Kinetic
- Open Kinetic at kinetic.launchloop.tech/app and sign in with Google. Nothing to install.
- Describe what you're launching in a sentence or two, or paste your site's URL so Kinetic picks up the name, colours and copy.
- Add screenshots of the product. Kinetic places them in phone, laptop or browser frames and animates them.
- Edit like a document. Change any word, colour, scene or beat; the scene re-times itself to the music.
- Export MP4 in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Rendering happens on your own computer, so nothing waits in a server queue.
Templates to start from
Every template opens in the editor with its words, colours, music and screenshots ready to change. See all 40 templates.
Questions
Can I export Kinetic films as code?
No. Kinetic exports MP4. If you need a code-driven pipeline, Remotion is the better fit.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some teams make the launch film in Kinetic and use Remotion for automated, data-driven videos.
Does Kinetic work on a Mac?
Yes. Kinetic runs in the browser on Mac, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS. Use Chrome, Edge or Safari 16.4 or newer. There is also a desktop app for Windows 10 and 11.
Is Kinetic free?
You can make and edit films for free, and the free trial includes 3 exports with no card. Kinetic Pro is one payment for unlimited exports: $9 for the first 100 buyers, then $19. No subscription.
Can I use the videos commercially?
Yes. The videos you export are yours, and the built-in music is synthesised in the app, so it is licence-free. Respect the rights of any images or logos you import.
