Features
Everything you need
Frame-perfect rendering
We step through your animation one frame at a time — no dropped frames, no timing drift. What you designed is exactly what you get, up to crisp 4K.
AI captions, automatic
Whisper transcribes your audio and burns time-synced captions right into the video — including the viral word-by-word style. Translate them into 16 languages. Captions are generated locally on our servers, with no per-minute fees.
AI voiceover
Type a script, pick from 14 natural voices, and it's narrated for you — automatically ducked under your music. Generated locally, no per-word charges.
Background music
Search 500,000 free CC0 tracks or upload your own. Music is looped and trimmed to your video's exact length, with optional fades and auto-ducking under voiceover.
✨ Make it a Short
One click turns any clip into a vertical 9:16 Short with punchy word-by-word captions — ready for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Then an AI Post Kit writes the caption, hooks, and hashtags.
Brand it, then ship it
Add intro and outro cards, drop in your logo, and export with one-click presets for every platform. MP4 or GIF, 720p to 4K, landscape, square, or vertical.
Already have a video?
Not just for animations
Drop an existing MP4, MOV, or WebM and Animation Machine becomes your finishing line — add AI captions, an AI voiceover, background music, your logo, an intro and outro, or turn it into a vertical Short. No timeline, no learning curve, no per-export fees.

FAQ
Common questions
What can I drop into Animation Machine?
Two kinds of files. Animations: a self-contained HTML file or ZIP from Claude Design, Lottie (Jitter, Bodymovin), GSAP, or CSS. Or an existing video: MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM. Either way you can add captions, voiceover, music, a logo, and intro and outro cards, then export MP4 or GIF.
Can Animation Machine add captions to my video automatically?
Yes. Local Whisper transcribes your audio and burns time-synced captions directly into the video — including a viral word-by-word style — in 7 looks. You can also translate them into 16 languages. It runs on our server with no OpenAI, AssemblyAI, or per-minute fees.
Can I add an AI voiceover?
Yes. Type a script and pick from 14 natural voices (American and British, male and female). Kokoro TTS narrates it locally, and when you also have music the music automatically ducks under the voice. No per-word charges.
Can I add background music to my video?
Yes. Search a library of over 500,000 free CC0-licensed tracks, or upload your own audio. Music is automatically looped and trimmed to match your video's exact duration, with optional fade in and out.
Can I turn a clip into a vertical Short for TikTok or Reels?
Yes. "Make it a Short" reframes any clip to vertical 9:16 and adds punchy word-by-word captions in one click — ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. When the render is done, an AI Post Kit writes a caption, hooks, and hashtags for it.
How does frame-perfect rendering work?
Animation Machine runs your animation in a headless Chromium browser and steps through it one frame at a time using a synthetic clock. This eliminates the timing drift you get from screen recording — every frame is captured at exactly the right moment, up to 4K.
What output formats and resolutions are available?
Export as MP4 (H.264 or H.265) or animated GIF. Resolutions include 720p, 1080p, 4K, vertical 1080×1920, and square 1080×1080, at 24, 30, or 60 fps. Quality presets run from Draft to Max.
Can I use my own video file, or render several at once?
Both. Drop an existing MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM to add captions, voiceover, music, and branding — no animation required. You can also batch up to 3 files at a time and track each one's progress.
How do I export a ZIP from Claude Design?
When Claude generates an HTML animation, use the download button in Claude Design to save it as a ZIP. Upload it directly to Animation Machine — no modifications needed, and the playback scrubber is removed automatically.
How much does Animation Machine cost?
Three options. Free: 1 watermarked render to try — no payment required. Pay per render: $1 each with no watermark and commercial use, bought 1, 5, or 10 at a time. Monthly: $5/month, or $3/month billed annually, for unlimited renders and every AI feature. Cancel anytime.
