What lands in your folder

Remember drawing your own characters as a kid, sure they deserved their own show? They finally get one.

You bring the idea and the jokes. The skill handles the scissors, the voices and the hundred boring technical bits, then hands you a finished episode you can actually post. And when people ask for episode two, your whole cast is already waiting.

A 60-90 s episode costs a few image and voice credits, not per-second video credits.
The finished episode An MP4 in 16:9 or 9:16 with paper-strip captions, a music bed and sound effects, mixed and ready to post.
Your cast, ready for a sequel Character sheets, voices and IDs are saved, so episode two keeps the same faces and the same voices.
Lip sync from code Mouths open on the real timing of every word and close when nobody talks.
A call-to-action ending An optional 10-15 s close with a sign, a bouncing arrow and the sidekick saying bye.
Preview pages for every step Approve each set of images from your phone in seconds.
A quality report Transcript, clicks, loudness, mouths and cuts all checked before the episode reaches you.

No surprises. Here is everything.
