Is the result a seamless forward animation?

It is a deliberate forward-and-reverse boomerang. Five seconds of source becomes ten seconds before encoding. Sound is added afterward and never reversed with the picture.

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 playful clay pastry waves, then reverses back to its resting pose in a boomerang loop. Keep the plate and background locked while one food creature performs a short action. Reverse the finished silent picture to return to the exact starting pose, then add audio. 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.
