In their own words
Animator
Animator is a browser-based workspace for creating editable whiteboard animation videos, with AI storyboarding, talking characters, voiceovers, recording, and timeline editing. Its AI can turn a topic or script into narration, visual plans, and editable scenes. Talking characters support lip sync, blinking, gaze, and expressions. A multitrack timeline offers separate visual and audio tracks with trimming, layering, duplication, transitions, and effects. The screen recorder captures a browser tab, application window, or full screen, along with a microphone and supported captured audio. Animator is designed for desktop Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge for the complete workspace and export workflow. Projects are stored in the workspace or browser-storage location selected by the user. The Free plan allows unlimited videos and exports up to 720p with a watermark. Pro is $29, paid once as a lifetime launch offer and includes 150 AnimatorAI Credits, 1080p and 4K export, no watermark, screen recording, support, and free product updates. Users export videos and upload them using each platform’s usual creator tools.
