Questions
Does an AI image or video model draw the frames?
No. Every frame is painted by a small pixel renderer from your story file, so the same story renders the same frames every time and captions stay sharp. PopNow is only used for optional sound.
How does it avoid looking like a generic template?
It first maps your product's world (users, objects, actions, the unique moment) and designs each scene from that map, with one custom signature scene. Stock presets are limited to one or two breathers.
Which looks can I choose?
Three: a night city with warm windows and one accent colour, a strict four-tone black and white, and a bright block world of grass and dirt cubes. Switching is one field in the story file.
Can captions be in Chinese, Japanese or Korean?
Yes. A CJK pixel font is bundled, and the caption limits and typing speed adjust for wide characters.
