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).

The tools dock

On the right edge of Studio:

Tool	Purpose

THEME	Apply a theme to the script, project, or everywhere. Themes
RENDER	Export MP4, captions, chapters, and parts. Rendering

New script grammar

Two additions to the script grammar:

• [ANIM: …] lines describe animation intent. They are never spoken; they appear on the timeline's animation track and guide AI drafting.
• Front matter keys theme, formats (16:9, 9:16), and languages record production choices.
