Animated comics: every panel becomes a short loop

Choose Animated before you draft, and every panel is drawn as a 2-second loop: rain falls, steam rises, tails flick. Speech bubbles stay still on top.

An animated panel costs 8 credits and is drawn at 1K, in about 30 seconds. Character and place drawings cost 1 credit as usual. The credits are taken when a panel starts drawing. If the image model fails before it charges for the try, they come back automatically. If it charged for the try and the panel still failed, those credits are kept. The 10 credits a new account starts with cover the 4-credit script and a reference drawing or two, but not an animated panel.

The script gives every panel a MOTION line: one sentence about what moves. Edit it before drawing. A still camera with small movements, rain, steam or candlelight loops best.

Animated works for stories you write in the box, not for Use my script, screenplays or picture books. Continue Story keeps it: every chapter of an animated comic is animated.

The reader has a Bubbles switch for watching the panels without text. PDF and other exports use each panel's first frame. The Gallery has a new Animated filter.
