VibeMotion-1 releases pre-alpha Figma import and prompt-to-MP4 renders

VibeMotion-1 released a pre-alpha local editor that imports Figma frames and layers, animates them from prompts, previews with LTX 2.3, and renders MP4s. The repo targets motion work without After Effects or DaVinci, but the launch is explicitly early and seeking breakage reports.

TL;DR

  • AmirMushich's launch post frames VibeMotion-1 as an open source, pre-alpha video editor that imports Figma frames and layers, animates layers from prompts, previews image animation with LTX 2.3, and renders final MP4s.
  • In youraipulse's feature list, the team says the current testable flow already includes prompt-to-motion, Figma frame import, layer animation, LTX Studio 2.3 previews, and final render output.
  • youraipulse's teaser pitches the tool as a local editor aimed at motion work without After Effects or DaVinci, with plain-language motion prompting as the core interface.
  • The release is explicitly early: the pre-alpha announcement asks users to report what breaks, while youraipulse's feedback reply says the team is actively inviting tags and improvement requests.

You can jump straight to the GitHub repo, watch AmirMushich's demo clip run through the timeline-based workflow, and compare it with youraipulse's earlier teaser, which leans hard on the pitch of local, text-directed motion work. The other useful tell is how openly early this launch is: the pre-alpha post asks people to test for breakage, and youraipulse's reply confirms the team is already fielding feature requests.

What shipped

The launch claim is simple: VibeMotion-1 is a pre-alpha editor that keeps a classical timeline UI while adding prompt-driven animation and Figma import.

The current feature list, as stated in youraipulse's pre-alpha post and AmirMushich's repo announcement, breaks down into:

  • prompt-to-motion
  • Figma frame import
  • Figma layer import
  • layer-level animation by prompt
  • LTX 2.3 model previews
  • final MP4 render

That makes this more editor-shaped than most one-shot text-to-video demos. The promise is not just generation, it is generation attached to layers and a timeline.

Figma layers on a timeline

The most concrete creative hook is the Figma-to-video path. In AmirMushich's launch post, the claim is not merely frame import, but importing frames with all layers intact, then animating those layers from prompts inside the editor.

That matters because the workflow starts from design assets people already have. youraipulse's teaser also positions the tool against After Effects and DaVinci, which makes the intended audience clear: designers and motion generalists who want text-controlled animation without moving into a full pro video stack.

Local motion with LTX 2.3

Both primary posts tie the image animation preview path to LTX 2.3. youraipulse's checklist calls it "@LTXStudio 2.3 model previews," while AmirMushich's launch post describes image animation using the LTX-2.3 model locally and says that model is open sourced.

The local angle is part of the product pitch, not a buried implementation detail. youraipulse's teaser opens by calling VibeMotion a local AI video editor, so the selling point is editable motion work on your own machine, not just another hosted generation box.

Pre-alpha access and feedback loop

The repo is live at GitHub, but the launch language stays careful. In youraipulse's pre-alpha post, the ask is to "tell what breaks or what’s missing," which is about as direct a pre-alpha disclaimer as you can write.

The replies add one more useful fact about how the team is handling rollout. After AmirMushich's question about testing in VM-1 asked whether a requested capability could be tried in the tool, youraipulse's reply answered "Yes, we can😎," and youraipulse's follow-up invited users to tag the team with feedback so they could improve it.
