Changelog

v1.1 — Motion Proxy Pivot (May 2026)

The big one. Motioness pivots from a templates product to a drop-in image-to-motion proxy.

Added

• Public proxy URL — GET /v1/{projectKey}/{src}.{format} returns a looping mp4 (.mp4) or poster (.jpg).
• Three motion modes — loop, animate-in, animate-on-hover.
• Brand context injection — Firecrawl deep-crawl extracts colors, fonts, content inventory, and tone; injected into the vision prompt.
• Signed URL mode — HMAC-SHA256 with ?sig=…&exp=… for cross-origin / short-lived URLs.
• Standard Webhooks — asset.completed, asset.failed, etc. with HMAC signatures, idempotency keys, retry schedule, dead-letter queue.
• SSE event streams — public per-asset (/v1/{key}/events/{id}) and auth-gated per-project (/api/projects/{id}/activity).
• Long-poll ?wait_ms= — block up to 10s waiting for the mp4 to finalize.
• Edge cache + KV index — hot mp4s serve in ~5ms.
• Query parameters — idem, pipeline, aspect, seed, prompt, motion, dur, mode.
• Per-stage retry envelope — transient failures retry up to 3 attempts per stage with backoff.
• Cron reconciler — finalizes assets stuck pending past 5 minutes via direct Replicate state queries.

Changed

• quality parameter renamed to mode and given three new values (loop, animate-in, animate-on-hover).
• Templates product moved to legacy/; existing template URLs continue to work indefinitely.

API surface

All new endpoints are documented in this site's API Reference, with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec at https://motioness.com/api/openapi.json.

Migration notes

Existing customers on the templates product don't need to do anything — template URLs keep working. New embeds should use the proxy URL pattern.

v1.0 — Templates (legacy)

The original Motioness — pick a template, customize, embed. Now archived under legacy/. Template URLs are still served indefinitely for existing customers.

Known limitations (deferred)

• Server-Timing header on cache-miss responses — not yet wired (deferred to v1.2).
• AE-driven ETA p50 — currently uses a static fallback table by (pipeline, model).
• Server-side aspect pre-crop for wan-fast and p-video — only seedance natively supports it today.
• True re-execution of arbitrary stages from the retry queue — recovery comes from the call-site retry envelope and the cron reconciler.
• BYO Replicate API key + custom model slug — on the v1.3 roadmap.
• Public delete-by-URL for uploaded sources — on the v1.2 roadmap.
