Questions
Do I need screenshots and posts before I start?
No. The engine draws neutral prompt boxes, pages, account cards and post posters, so you can approve the lines and timing first and swap in your own material later without retiming.
Whose posts and accounts appear in the film?
Your product's own: you supply screenshots of your own posts, or the post texts and the engine draws neutral cards. The skill never collects other people's posts, never invents posts, numbers or check marks, and never puts competitors in the answer beats.
How does the music line up with the cuts?
The biggest hit always lands on the first frame of the BUT shot. The skill cuts one continuous excerpt of the track so its strongest onset sits there, then fades out on the white end card.
What does PopNow add, and what does it cost?
A themed eye plate whose reflection hints at your product, an instrumental bed, and sound effects: effects matched to the rendered film, or a few named signature sounds. Each job is quoted in credits first; a typical set of plate, music and matched effects is about 150 credits, and rendering is free on your machine.
