Episodic animation

Studios, web-series creators, and brands running a narrative campaign who want a stylised animated look rather than a live-action one.

Shot 2: the same stylised animated character climbing deeper into the cave, held consistent via a reference-guided edit from Shot 1.

What you get

Everything episodic film tracks — identity-hold rate, retries per episode, cost per finished minute, episodes shipped on cadence
A chosen animation style: 2D cel, 3D stylised, anime, paper-cut or claymation
Automatic lip-sync, applied at assembly so a style change never forces a re-generate

One engine, one continuity model, one consistency check — animation is a style and rigging choice on top of episodic film, not a second product to learn

Frame rate and lip-sync are applied at assembly, never at generation, so tuning either one never costs a re-render

Every guarantee episodic film makes about canon and character consistency carries over unchanged

Auto-posting is off by default. A new workspace approves its first five pieces one at a time before anything publishes unattended, and unattended posting stays a Pro-plan-and-up feature everywhere — not because it costs more to produce, but because posting to your real account without a look is a risk decision, not a pricing one.

The range this dial covers

The same continuityStrictness dial episodic film uses, carried over unchanged.

Shot 2 (Loose): the same stylised character, generated independently in a second scene — identity drift.

Shot 2 (Strict): the same stylised character in a second scene, held consistent via a reference-guided edit from Shot 1.

Settings you control

What runs unattended vs. needs your approval

Identical to episodic film, substituting the animation model, style preset and rigging style. Frame rate and lip-sync are applied at assembly, so changing either never forces a re-generate. One extra gate before spend: your character model source has to resolve to something real — a mesh job that can run, a library that has the style, or an uploaded model that's actually present.

Auto-post is off by default. A new workspace approves its first five pieces one at a time before anything publishes unattended.

Auto-publishing without approval is a Pro-plan-and-up feature — a risk gate, not a cost one. Producing a piece costs the same whoever ordered it; posting to your real account unattended is a different exposure.

Reference: required. A character sheet and a style preset are both required before a run can start.
