- Chrome and Edge on computers can write MP4; Safari and Firefox are still being tested, with WebM offered as a fallback.
Field notes
The form offers three starting points: a sequence of up to five tropes, a highlighted book quote, or an opening sentence typed onto a page before the cover appears. Its listed output is a silent 1080 × 1920 video at 30 frames per second, under ten seconds. The free version adds a small site credit; removal is tied to a monthly plan that the page says is not open yet.
