a creative studio for motion
Everything moves
An infinite canvas and a pro timeline in one app — and an AI co-designer that designs, animates and edits on it, on any model you choose. In your browser or on your desktop.
Free forever on web · desktop v3.7.1 — no account, works offline.
Vector. Béziers you can keyframe — every point, on its own track.

Describe it. Watch it animate.
An AI motion designer inside the editor. It builds on your canvas, checks its work, and every request is one undo.
Designs and animates
Title cards, lower thirds, promos — laid out on a grid, keyed with real easing.
Checks its own work
Renders frames, watches the motion, fixes what's off before it says done.
Edits like an editor
Cuts dead air, finds the best lines, turns long video into a 30-second reel.
Captions and lyrics
Word-synced captions from any speech, lyrics timed to a song.
Generates media
Images, video, voiceover, music and sound effects, straight onto the timeline.
Grades by feeling
"Warm, filmic, golden hour" becomes a node grade you can open and tweak.
One undo per request
Every request is one step. Rewind any of them from the chat.
One click on any layer
Cut out, upscale, caption, clean up voice — from the right-click menu.
Any model. Yours.
Not tied to one AI company. Connect the models you already use — or a free one on your own computer — and switch mid-chat. Route images, video, voices and sound to the providers you pick. Keys stay on your device.

Drive it from Claude Code
AtomCut speaks MCP. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor — any agent — can drive your open editor headlessly: every command, real renders to look at, the AtomCut skill as resources. Script a whole edit from your terminal and watch it happen on the canvas.

one studio
Design and animate in the same window.
A canvas above a timeline, with the same rails, panels and inspector at every screen size.
everything, keyframeable
A full motion studio.
Vectors, video, audio, effects and plugins, all under one keyframe engine.
Vector, pen & brush
Real Béziers with per-node corner rounding, 43 pressure-sensitive brushes, and ⇧A to turn any selection into a live auto layout.
337,000 icons that draw on
Every open-source icon set, searchable in the studio. An icon lands as vector layers and inks itself in with Draw On.
4,555 sound effects, free
A CC0 archive in the studio — impacts, whooshes, glitches, foley. Auditioned safely: nothing plays loud enough to hurt.
Keyframe anything
Numbers, colours, gradients, geometry, effects, even whether an effect is on. Record mode keys every edit.
NLE-grade timeline
Trim, roll and ripple across unified tracks. Groups are clips too — nest rows, trim to hide, drag freely in and out.
Text, with sound
Reveal letter by letter or word by word, each unit with its own sound and its own effects — or bind it to ride a shape's outline as text on a path.
Layer effects
Thirty-six stackable, keyframeable cards — glow, motion blur, glitch, halftone, lightning, liquid glass — each with presets.
Colour & keying
Lift, gamma and gain wheels, chroma key, one-click background removal, and a Color page with grade node graphs and real broadcast scopes.
Motion tracking
Track a box, ellipse, polygon or hand-drawn contour, then drive a layer, a colour key or an effect region.
Audio, seen
Waveforms on the timeline, keyframed gain and fades, and a full effect stack.
Nodes & expressions
Type an expression into any field, wire a node graph, or bind a modulator.
Components & adjustments
Synced instances that update together, and adjustment layers that grade what sits beneath them.
Touch, properly
One workspace at every screen size, with on-screen modifiers for precision gestures on a tablet.
Export everywhere
MP4, WebM, GIF and PNG sequence, plus transparent, per-layer, SVG and Lottie with fidelity reports.

Everything AtomCut does.
