Paper Cut-out Story Video

Paidv1.0.0

Turns a story, lesson or process into a soft, handmade paper cut-out explainer video, rendered locally to MP4.

$4.90one-time, or included in Premium

Tell your agent the story, lesson or process you want to explain. It breaks it into a few clear steps, picks paper props for each, and renders a 30–50 second explainer that looks handmade: colored paper sheets sliding in like pages, cut-out props popping up and wobbling in stop-motion, and a takeaway to close.

"What is Winnie-the-Pooh about?" A book explained in 30 seconds, made with this skill.

What you get

  • An MP4 at 1080p, 2K or 4K, usually 35–45 seconds.
  • A title card, 2–5 numbered steps, the takeaway and a closing card.
  • 42 paper props (sun, rain cloud, seed, tree, bear, honey pot, balloon, lightbulb, rocket, chat, people and more) in four palettes, or your brand colors.
  • A length cap when you need one: ask for "under 30 seconds" and every scene is paced to fit.
  • The film as an editable HTML page you can scrub frame by frame, plus its story file, so changes are a quick rebuild.
  • Stills of every scene, checked for text that doesn't fit, before anything is rendered.

Silent by design

The video comes out silent, so it fits under your own voiceover, music or captions in any editor, and works muted in social feeds. Everything runs on your computer: no API keys, no costs.

Good to know

  • Great for lessons, onboarding, how-it-works clips, brand stories and social posts.
  • Not for voiceover, talking heads, long tutorials, screen recordings or realistic visuals.
