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.

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop your cover

    Upload your square album art. CoverScale prepares the 4K master needed for Apple Music delivery.

  2. 2

    Animate with AI

    Pick a motion preset — drift, parallax, or rhythm — and preview the loop before spending a credit.

  3. 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 animated covers are square loops (1:1), typically delivered at high resolution with a 24–30 fps loop and silent audio. CoverScale exports to those constraints.

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.
