02

Pick a style

A reference video or a saved style.

03

Watch it come to life

Script, voice and animation land on your timeline.

Shaped like the reference

Hooks and rhythm
that already work.

Your script follows the reference’s shape and pace, never its words.

FAQ

Good questions,
straight answers.

What is an animated story short?

A vertical video of 30 to 120 seconds with a narrator and fully animated scenes, no speaker on camera. You give Viewcat a topic; it writes, narrates and animates the short.

Do I need a reference video?

You need a style: either a reference video (up to 100 MB) or a saved faceless style from the library, such as Paper History, Backlit Cinema, Golden Hour Story or Bold Cartoon History.

Who owns the art?

The scenes are original art drawn for your short. Viewcat copies the reference's structure and look, not its images or words.

Can I edit the script?

Refine any moment in the chat. With Claude Code or Codex, your own agent writes the script and builds the animation through the Viewcat MCP server.
