Studio and the animated stage
Qontent Tube 0.2 adds a stage: every script becomes an animated 1920 × 1080 video whose timing follows the voice. Studio is the start page. Pick a project and a script, then switch between three views that share your draft and the playhead.
| View | What you see |
|---|---|
| Script | The Markdown editor and the scene and speaker outline. |
| Script + Stage | The editor beside the live stage, plus a timeline with scene, voice, animation, and caption tracks. |
| Storyboard | Every scene with wireframes, its elements, and review controls. See Storyboards. |
The stage follows the voice
Animation beats are anchored to dialogue lines, not to seconds. When a clip is regenerated or a sentence changes length, every card, chip, and character that belongs to that line moves with it. Until a line has voice, Qontent Tube estimates its length from the words, and the header shows the video length as estimated or voiced.
- Preview with estimated timing plays the stage on its own clock before any audio exists.
- Click a scene, a voice block, or an animation beat on the timeline to jump there.
- The stage header switches between 16:9, 9:16, and side by side (see Mobile formats).
- The Language switch in the script header opens the same video in another language (see Languages).
