A browser-based production tool for making animated films, from character sheets and keyframes through motion drafts, continuity, and timeline editing.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-28 issue.
For
Solo animators and filmmakers building AI-assisted films
Worth noticing
Users connect provider API keys and pay providers directly; the page estimates about $1.41 for one finished five-second shot.

Field notes

The workflow asks users to bring their own provider accounts rather than buying bundled render credits, and says prices appear before each render. The page names fal and Atlas Cloud and describes testing API keys with a real call. For motion drafts, it also presents a user-supplied GPU as an option that can make those drafts close to free; that remains a conditional path, not the default cost.
