Video to 2D Animation

An approved still sets identity and geometry, a video model supplies motion, and deterministic tools prepare it for the engine. Video is not promised to be smaller, seamless or cheaper than sheets.

Use when

• Animating a character or creature: every action comes from one approved master still, one clip per action.
• Fluid motion from an accepted master: idle breathing, walks, runs, attacks, casts, hair, capes, creatures.
• A supplied clip must become transparent, registered, looped frames and engine video.

Do not use when

• FX, icon or prop sheets: generate2dsprite.
• Water, fire or mist inside a still scene plate: generate2dmap. Only an API or CLI call: generate2dmedia.
• Code-drawn animation the user asked for: codeart2d.
