New Stories & Series

One world. Every episode.

Paste your episodes the way you wrote them. Kinetra finds the characters and the places, draws each one once, gives every character its own voice, then makes every episode from storyboard to finished video. Episode 1 and episode 100 share the same faces, places and voices.

Features

A whole animation studio. Inside one app.

Everything a channel or a studio needs to go from script to screen, with full control over every frame.

Private by design

Every model runs on your Mac: your scripts, pictures and videos stay on it. Only narration in an online voice (Arabic and most other languages) is sent to Microsoft's voice service to be spoken.

AI director

Splits your story into scenes and plans the visuals, camera and timing of each one.

Edit one scene, not the video

Say what to change in plain words. Only that scene is regenerated — everything else stays.

Characters that stay themselves

Design a character once in the Character Studio and reuse it in every story, with lip-sync while it talks.

Arabic, done properly

Right-to-left captions drawn with real fonts, tashkeel for the voice, and translation between Arabic and English built in.

Voices & captions

Natural narration with word-by-word timing, so captions land on the beat.

Motion graphics

Counting numbers, growing bars, pictograms and popping icons laid over your scenes.

Product ads

Pick a brand kit — logo, name, call to action — and the ad ends on your brand card.

One press, whole video

Queue several videos and let Kinetra write, draw, voice, animate and render them while you do something else.

Sound that fits

Ambience and effects are chosen from what each scene shows and mixed under the voice.

Visual styles

One prompt, seven looks.

The same scene, animated by the app in every style — so you can see the look before you commit. Pick one, or hold your own palette for the whole video.

The prompt
A single seed sprouts from dark soil and unfurls into a young tree, leaves opening to the morning light.
Same scene, same motion — only the style changes.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I need an internet connection?

Once, for the models: on first launch Kinetra downloads them (about 18 GB) in the background. After that, writing, drawing, animating, narration with an offline English or French voice, and rendering work offline. Online voices, including Arabic, need a connection.

Which Mac do I need?

A Mac with Apple Silicon. More memory means faster, bigger pictures; Kinetra detects your hardware and offers Eco, Balanced and Quality modes.

Can I edit the video after it's made?

Yes — that's the point. Every scene keeps its narration, picture, motion and voice. Change any of them, or describe the change in words, and only that scene is made again.

Which languages are supported?

Narration supports Arabic, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Turkish. English and French have offline voices; Arabic and the other languages use online voices. Captions and built-in translation support Arabic and English.

Which formats can I export?

YouTube 16:9 and vertical 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, at 1080p, 2K or 4K.

Is there a Windows version?

Kinetra is available for macOS today. Windows support is planned.
