Download locally. Bring your AI account.
The local MotionClone repository is available to download without a MotionClone subscription. AI analysis uses your own ChatGPT account through the official Codex CLI. Account costs and usage limits are separate; free download does not mean unlimited free AI.
What you need
- Windows with Git and Python 3.11 or newer.
- Node.js 22 or newer with npm for HyperFrames rendering.
- FFmpeg and ffprobe for reading and encoding videos.
- Google Chrome for browser rendering.
- The official Codex CLI and a ChatGPT account with access to the required AI features.
Run in PowerShell
Make git, python, npm, ffmpeg, ffprobe, and codex available on PATH first. The launcher installs locked dependencies and opens http://127.0.0.1:4319. First launch needs an internet connection.
On later launches, run start.ps1 again or open Start MotionClone.vbs. If a prerequisite is missing, install it and reopen PowerShell.
git clone https://github.com/blixvip/MotionClone.git
cd MotionClone
codex login
.\start.ps1Your first reconstruction
- Paste a public HTTPS video link or upload a reference file.
- Choose Rebuild video and wait for the analysis and render stages.
- Review original and rebuilt videos together; small text, fonts, and complex footage may differ.
- Download the editable project ZIP, rebuilt video, or comparison MP4.
Costs, data, and availability
No API key is required by the documented local workflow. Your Codex login supplies AI access; check your account for its current entitlements and limits.
Local projects and media stay on your computer. Selected reference frames go to ChatGPT for analysis, and video downloads contact the source service. This is not an offline-only workflow.
The hosted site offers an early-access online studio with sign-in and a separate ChatGPT connection. Hosted pricing has not been announced. The repository has no project-wide open-source license assigned; public source availability is not a blanket reuse or redistribution license.
