The Paper Layer Turns Cutouts into Motion
A browser-based animation studio for building paper-cutout videos from editable text, photos, textures, and physical-looking paper layers.
Field notes
The tool models a composition as independent physical-looking pieces: the visible demo includes a four-layer stack with a ransom headline, cutout photo, paper scrap, and newsprint backdrop. Users can split typography into individual letter layers and alter position, rotation, scale, material, and edge treatment. The page lists stop-motion, unfold, tear, drop, popcorn, spin, and messy movement styles, with templates ranging from three to six seconds and output framing for 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9 video.
