Melted Crayons TV vs Move AI

Melted Crayons TV is a browser-based AI storytelling studio for creating comics, graphic novels, storyboards, animated videos, and published story pages. Character references help keep figures visually consistent across panels, clips, and pages, and the studio offers more than 30 art styles, including comic book, anime, watercolor, LEGO, and cyberpunk. Creators can set motion direction for each shot and add character voices or narration. Outputs include interactive comic pages, MP4 video, narrated read-alongs, PDF and print, and social cuts. Published stories can include trackable short links and QR codes with click analytics. The free Sketch tier provides 30 monthly credits for image-only work; it exports watermarked 1080p static comic video and does not include panel animation. Paid plans start at $9.99/mo, with listed tiers varying in credits, voices, resolution, animation, and commercial-use terms. Character photo background extraction runs in the browser, and the maker says the photo does not leave the device for that step. Account content is retained while an account is active; after deletion, backups may take up to 30 days to expire.

Move AI describes its products as markerless motion-capture systems that use AI to create motion data. Move One is an iPhone app that turns single-camera video into 3D animation. Its free plan provides 30 credits once, which do not expire, for videos up to 30 seconds. Starter costs $18 a month, billed at $18/month plus VAT, and includes 60 credits per month for videos up to 60 seconds. Other listed tiers are Standard at $48 a month, Plus at $225 a month, and Advanced at $490 a month. Genesis processes motion data on premises through a desktop application using Nvidia GPUs. It requires one Nvidia GPU and 6–12 Z CAM cameras and lenses; listed capture capacity is 1–8 people in volumes of 4 × 4 meters or 20 × 20 meters. Genesis can process RGB or grayscale feeds from many existing Vicon or OptiTrack systems and integrates with Peel Capture for camera control, start and stop commands, file naming, and project management. Output formats include FBX, BVH, GLB, USDZ, Blender, C3D, JSON, and MP4 previews. Move AI says it does not actively try to identify people in video, motion data, or output files.
