What MotionElements does

MotionElements Pte Ltd is a Singapore-headquartered, private royalty-free digital asset marketplace founded in 2007 that operates globally under the MotionElements brand. The platform aggregates more than 26 million creative assets across 15+ product categories including stock video (6M+), stock images and vectors (19M+), royalty-free music (800K+), sound effects (400K+), 3D models, Lottie animations (16K+), and dedicated template libraries for After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, Notion, and PowerPoint/Keynote. Its stated customer base exceeds 1 million studios, freelancers, design agencies, and corporate teams in over 20 localized markets.

The platform layers proprietary AI capabilities on top of this catalog. VisualSearch and AudioSearch enable reference-based retrieval by uploading images, videos, or audio files (or YouTube URLs) instead of using keywords; AI Remix, accessible at ai.motionelements.com, orchestrates more than 100 third-party generative AI models (Veo, Kling, Seedance, Grok Imagine, GPT Image, Flux, Luma AI, ElevenLabs, among others) to transform stock assets into new creations, metered via an AI coin system. Additional AI tools include an AI Video Upscaler (HD/4K), AI Image Variation Generator, AI Background Remover, AI Music Duration Adjuster, and Image-to-Video conversion. A developer API at motionelements.com/developer supports programmatic and contributor access.

The business runs a dual monetization model: pay-per-item purchases starting at US$1 with a perpetual royalty-free commercial license, and an Unlimited Subscription priced at US$16.50/month billed annually or US$39/month, which bundles unlimited downloads from a 26M+ subscription catalog with the AI Remix suite and a 1,000-coin monthly AI generation allowance. A freemium layer offers five free downloads weekly, and a separate Corporate multi-seat license supports team-based access. The three co-founders — Mark Sun (CEO), Sean Quek (CSO), and Joanne Chua (COO) — remain in operating roles; the company discloses no external funding beyond a 2015 seed round (500 Global, Incubate Fund, KK Fund).
