The free trial is a small 5-second sample, not the full process. Full films are paid. Generated with AI.

Created by one of Australia's top animation agencies

Powered by the world's leading AI models

A good explainer takes more than a prompt.

AI can make a clip. It won't tell you what to say, keep every scene consistent or time it to your message. We guide you from blank page to finished film.

How a full film will work.

Six planned steps, all online. You bring the business knowledge and approve each stage. The system creates the material. The full-film app is still being built.

  1. 1

    Script

    Share your brief, approve your script.

    Plan what's said and what's seen, side by side. Write with the assistant, upload your own, or start from a website link or sales deck. A live timer keeps it to length.

  2. 2

    Look

    Pick a format and style, approve a frame.

    Choose horizontal or vertical, then a look, colours and a font, or upload your brand guidelines. Add screenshots so the film shows your real product. Approve a sample frame.

  3. 3

    Storyboard

    Tick each frame or change it.

    Tick each frame or leave a note on it. Only the frames you change get redone.

  4. 4

    Voice and music

    Choose them, hear them together.

    Filter voices by tone and style, hear a sample, then pick from three tracks played against your voiceover.

  5. 5

    Timing preview

    Check the timing before animation.

    See the timed boards with voice and music before anything is animated.

  6. 6

    Film

    Approve the animation and download.

    Comment by timecode, and only the shots you change are redone. Sign off and download your film.

Good questions

Something else on your mind? Email [email protected].

How does it work?

It's being built as an online app. You'll sign in and work through each step in your browser, on your computer or phone, with no software to install and no animation experience needed.

What do I need to bring?

Your knowledge of the business, plus a brief or script. If you have them, add your brand guidelines and product screenshots. You approve each milestone.

What will I get at the end?

A finished animated film to download, with voiceover and music. You'll also be able to download your storyboard as a comic-style PDF.

Can I make a vertical video?

Yes. Choose horizontal for your website and presentations, or vertical for phones and social feeds. Your film is composed for that shape, not cropped to fit.

Is this made with AI?

Yes. It's AI-assisted animation, run through a production process built by animators. You direct it at every step.

Does a person review my film?

On Small, Medium and Large, no. Films are generated with AI, checked automatically and approved by you. On Ultra, a real animation expert is there to help, with a reply within 24 hours.

Do I need characters?

No. You can explain an idea with shapes, type, diagrams, objects or your product screens. If characters suit the story, choose people, a mascot or a creature.

Can it show my real product and brand?

That's how it's being built. You upload screenshots and brand guidelines, and logos and product screens are placed as supplied, never redrawn.

What's in the free trial?

One short scene: up to 12 words of voiceover, plus a description of the visuals. Choose from 3 voices, pick horizontal or vertical, see your scene in 3 styles, make one change, then watch about 5 seconds in HD with our web address along the bottom. It isn't the full process. A full film adds your whole script, a frame-by-frame storyboard, complete voiceover and music, a timing preview, revisions and a full-resolution download.

How much is a full film?

Monthly plans are planned to start at US$329 plus local taxes for 1 minute of animation. Early access sign-ups get 30% off for their first 12 months, from US$230. Large gives you up to 3 minutes a month with unlimited revisions, fair use applies. Nothing to pay today.

What if I change something I've approved?

We'll show what needs remaking and any extra cost before you continue.

What about 3D or other languages?

We're launching with 2D in English. 3D and translations are planned for later.

When does it open?

We don't have a date yet. Join the waitlist and you'll be among the first to hear.
