What it builds
What this engine can build
Your photos and videos as scenes that follow the song's sections, with chapter cards, film strips, a darkroom, a road made of the song, a mosaic and a phone story. Start with Chapters, then combine it with logos, masks, captions, camera layers, and global effects without changing document formats.
- Editable 2D and 3D geometry, transforms, motion, and materials
- Every property has a default, keyframes, and bounded audio routes
- Blend with masks, media, text, logo, character, camera, light, and effect layers
