Questions, answered.
What is Motion Index?
Motion Index is a curated reference library of the world's best product commercials, brand films, and high-end 3D motion design — every video handpicked and indexed shot by shot, searchable by idea, color, look, and motion. Humans decide what gets in; algorithms help you find it.
Is Motion Index the right library for me?
It is if you make or commission designed, product-focused work: CG, tabletop and macro studio shoots, materials, light, and type in motion. It is deliberately NOT a library of live-action people work: there are almost no humans on screen — when people appear, they're elements in a designed world, not the subject. If you need portrait or lifestyle references, character animation, UI motion, narrative film, or downloadable stock footage, Motion Index is the wrong tool.
Is the content AI-generated?
No — nothing in the library is AI-generated. Every shot was made by a real studio, for a real brand, and shipped. That's the point: a reference has to prove the caliber is achievable, and every video is credited to the people who made it. Motion Index uses algorithms to help you search the library, never to fill it.
How does the search work?
Search by idea — brief language like "cushioning" returns foam macros, inflated geometry, and a shoe resting on pillows. Search by image — drop in any frame and find shots that match by color, composition, and light. Or dial in exact visual parameters: hue-degree ranges (combinable for duotone palettes), saturation, luminance distribution, texture detail, and pace. On any shot, you can also explore visual similarity four ways: General, Look, Subject, or Motion.
Can I add my own videos to Motion Index?
You can submit them. Anyone can submit a video — their own work or great work they've found — and human curators approve or reject every submission against one standard: reference-grade work you'd show a client. More videos get rejected than published, which is exactly what makes being in the library mean something.
How is Motion Index different from ShotDeck?
ShotDeck focuses on cinematic reference stills from feature films — excellent for narrative filmmaking, but frozen frames can't communicate pacing, camera movement, or rhythm. Motion Index is built for product commercials, brand films, and 3D motion design: full video references, indexed shot by shot, searchable by idea, color, look, and motion. If your work is designed rather than captured — CG, studio, materials, and type — Motion Index is built for your workflow.
How much does Motion Index cost?
Creating an account is free, and the free account is a real one: the full library, every filter, unlimited search by keyword or image, saved frames, collections, and the canvas all work. Free accounts are rationed rather than restricted — search as often as you like, and each search shows the first 150 matches. The paid plan removes those ceilings: every result, unlimited saves and collections, unlimited boards, plus sub-collections, collaborators, file uploads, and custom clips.
