A pet or object escapes a photograph and hops across a paper landscape. Lock one photographic cutout silhouette. Stage a departure, one physical crossing and a landing; align the path marker with that landing. PopNow can create the reference and motion clip after a quote; the local compositor applies the finishing treatment to that clip or your own footage.

Questions
Does it automatically rig my pet photo?
No. PopNow generates the movement from the reference after approval, or you supply a finished clip. The local renderer adds the route and checks the declared landing cue.
Can I use my own footage?
Yes. Point the project input at a local clip or pass --input. The renderer checks the chosen range and never uploads local material.
What has the renderer actually checked?
It verifies input values, source duration, frame rendering and output duration. You still need to watch for believable action, stable subjects and good sound timing.
