Welcome to AtomCut

AtomCut is a creative studio for motion — a Figma-like infinite canvas married to a pro NLE-grade timeline, with an AI co-designer built in. Design vectors, text, video, images and audio in one place, keyframe anything, and ask an agent on any model to do the work with you.

What AtomCut is

Most tools force a choice: a design canvas or a video timeline. AtomCut is both. You compose on an infinite canvas with real vector and text tools, and you animate on a multi-track timeline where every property is keyframeable — position, color, a gradient stop, an effect, even the text itself.

An AI co-designer, on any model

New in 3.0: the Agents tab. Ask for a design, an animation, a tighter edit, captions, a grade, a voiceover — it builds it on your canvas, looks at the result, fixes it, and hands it back as one undo. Connect Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, open models or a free local one; route images, video, voices and sound to the providers you choose; right-click any layer for one-click AI; or drive AtomCut headlessly from Claude Code and any MCP agent. Start at AI agents.

Where it runs

AtomCut runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install, your work saved locally on your machine. Prefer a native app? It ships for macOS, Windows and Linux too. The two share the same engine, so a project opens identically in either, and the same workspace runs on a tablet or a phone.

How these docs are organized

Start with the Quick start to make your first animation in a couple of minutes. The studio covers the canvas, drawing & brush, strokes and the timeline. Animate covers keyframing, text animation, text on a path, morphing, motion paths & curves, variables and expressions. Effects is a reference for every layer effect, colour grading, chroma key, motion tracking, adjustment layers and audio — start at the overview. When you're ready to ship, see Exporting.
