- Motion designers seeking an After Effects-style browser editor
- Worth noticing
- The page says the first visit downloads the editor, which then opens from cache; footage and renders stay on-device.
Field notes
The page describes a first-visit download that opens from cache, rather than an editor that streams all project media to a service. It says footage and renders stay on the device, and lists exports including ProRes with alpha and WebM with VP9 alpha. The AI panel can use a provider key pasted by the user or Craft Apps credits; the page says new accounts receive 30 credits.
