Apple Music Motion
Apple Music Motion Cover Generator
Apple Music animated covers ("Motion") loop on the Now Playing screen for select releases. CoverScale animates your static cover into a square Motion loop that meets Apple’s technical requirements — without After Effects, Motion or a video editor.

Drop your cover
Upload your square album art. CoverScale prepares both 1:1 and 3:4 delivery formats required by Apple.
- 2
Animate with AI
Pick a motion preset — drift, parallax, or rhythm — and preview the loop before spending a credit.
- 3
Export to Apple spec
Download a clean MP4 / ProRes loop sized for Apple Music animated cover delivery.
What you get
Static cover → animated loop
Animate your existing cover with AI — no After Effects, no Motion, no editor.
4K master, scaled deliverables
A 4K master is rendered once, then sized for Apple Music delivery in the same job.
Apple-spec output
Aspect ratio, frame rate and codec are clamped to Apple Music animated cover requirements before export.
Seamless loop
CoverScale renders a clean loop point so the Now Playing screen never shows a hard cut.
Frequently asked
What is an Apple Music Motion cover?
Apple Music animated cover delivery (sometimes called "Motion") lets eligible releases display a short looping video on the Now Playing screen instead of a static cover. CoverScale generates the loop from your existing artwork.
What format does Apple Music need?
Apple Music Motion requires two silent videos: 3840×3840 px (1:1) and 2048×2732 px (3:4), each 8–35 seconds, looping seamlessly, delivered as MP4 or MOV with H.264 or ProRes.
Do I need a video editor?
No. CoverScale animates your album cover with AI motion presets. Upload one image and download a clean Motion loop.
How much does an Apple Motion cover cost?
About four credits per AI-motion asset. Credits are pay-as-you-go — typical releases cost €1–€2.
