Does the renderer create the creature animation?

No. The source clip contains the drawing, color and escape action. The renderer adds a fading grid and construction circle, with editable labels before and after the breakthrough.

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.

A drawn mechanical fish becomes a living watercolor creature and leaves the page. Begin with one readable line drawing. Show color spreading before the creature lifts off; dissolve the construction guides at the breakthrough cue. 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.
