Questions
Is the video generated by an AI video model?
No. A bundled HTML engine draws every frame from the time and renders frame by frame, so text, logos and screenshots stay exact and every cut lands on the beat. PopNow only adds optional music, a custom character and sound effects.
Which character styles are there?
Three, eight characters each: fuzzy felt plush toys, bright flat geometric bots and muted shapes with expressive cartoon faces. The build casts five of them so their colours follow your brand.
Where do the words and pictures come from?
From your product's own site, docs and screenshots. The agent lists a source for every on-screen line in factcheck.md, keeps pricing claims exactly as the pricing page scopes them, and never invents features, numbers or screenshots.
Can I use it without a PopNow key?
Yes. Use a music track you own, the bundled crew and the built-in synthesized effects; the film is complete without any generation.
