ViralMint turns a topic or brief into a finished animated video — kinetic typography, stat cards, lower-thirds and motion scenes — AI-composed, then rendered locally on your machine — a flat 3¢ per exported video, no per-minute fee and no watermark.
Most 'animated video makers' assemble stock images with pan-zoom effects. ViralMint's Motion Graphics mode AI-authors an actual animated composition — kinetic typography, animated stat cards, lower-thirds, transitions — the style you see in top finance and explainer channels.
The animation renders on your own computer, not a cloud render farm — so there's no per-minute rendering fee, no queue, and no watermark, just a flat 3¢ per exported video. The AI authoring is pay-as-you-go: 12¢ per message to the AI director, 27¢ for a new composition's design plan and 20¢ to write it, so a first animated short typically costs about 62¢ total.
The Explainer Video studio chains everything: topic → AI script → narration (400+ free voices or your own cloned voice) → animated motion-graphic slides → word-by-word captions → export in 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1. One tool from idea to upload-ready mp4.
Free desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux — grab it at viralmint.net and register a free account.
Type your topic or brief — the AI composes the animated scenes (headlines, stats, layout, motion) for you.
Adjust text, colors and pacing visually; the composition is editable, not a black box.
Your machine renders the mp4 — no watermark, a flat 3¢ per export — ready for TikTok, Shorts or YouTube.

The app and the studio are free, and rendering happens on your own computer — a flat 3¢ per exported video, no per-minute fee and no watermark.

Kinetic typography (animated text that moves with the narration), stat cards and number counters, lower-thirds, and full motion-graphic scenes — the visual language of finance, tech and explainer channels. It's not a cartoon-character animator.
Yes — the composition opens in an embedded visual studio where you can tweak text, colors, layout and timing before rendering. You're never stuck with the first draft.
Yes — the Website-to-Video tool screenshots your URL, reads the brand (colors, headline, tone) and AI-authors an animated promo from it, rendered locally like everything else.
